Working on this checklist and I've hit two roadblocks:

First is the Kevin Durant / Roger Clemens card. I've made sure this card is not already in the Basketball database. Question is how should I enter? Do I add to baseball for Clemens or basketball for Durant? Or both? Just not sure on the crossover. Would a baseball PID need to be created for Durant or visa-versa for Clemens?

Second question is for the Bo Jackson / Frank Thomas card. So this card is already listed in the football database but i'm not sure if it should be in the baseball as well- although it would then become a duplicate. Any advise would be helpful. Thanks

PIDs may need to be manually entered to accomodate cross-sport listings such as this. (We see this all the time with the A&G sets.)

People should only have 1 PID, and it should be associated with the sport/genre they belong in - such as the non-sport people in the Topps First Pitch and the Donruss Fans of the Game insert sets.) THink of this card as a "cameo" for the player in the "wrong" sport.

Why is that one in the "football" section. Where is the SET located? That's the question. What is this set suppoosed to be? Maybe that listing in football is entered incorrectly.

there are quite a few card MFR's that make dual sport cards.. IE: UD and Topps ( ithink) had football, baseball , and even hockey players on one card as inserts. So, i "think" it may depend on who inputs the CL where they saw it at. IE: if they are a football collector and get the CL from the football searches, then thats where it will be listed as. 

To your second question- the card is listed in Football - 2016 Panini Immaculate Collegiate - Immaculate INK Combos - card number 23. Perhaps OP assigned card to football for Bo Jackson. Also, FT did accept a football scholarship at Auburn. Unfortunately, I haven't seen the card so I can't place a sport without speculation. 

Dan- when you say manual entry for PID- are you referring to the player's original sport PID?

People only have 1 PID - even Bo Jackson has only 1 PID. It can be found in both Baseball and Football, but it's the only PID Bo knows. :)
