Here's another one that you need to watch for: players known for one sport that played another one in college and are featured on a card for that alternate sport in a Multi-Sport set.

So yeah, before changing any Multi-Sport college TIDs, make sure the player didn't play another sport.

 

As far as celebrities who didn't play a sport, their college should NOT be listed in Team. Teams should only be used for people who are on an actual team. I played no sports in college, so if I was ever in a college set for whatever reason, team should remain blank for my cards. Just because I studied there or got my degree there, doen't mean BYU Cougars or FAU Owls should be listed as "Team" for me - ANYWHERE.

Going back to the original question, here's something that could potentially be a workaround to find the card(s) with the incorrect TID:

Go into the player's Filters, choose the college team, then try narrowing down the results even further, either by picking a known Multi-Sport Brand (like "Sports Illustrated for Kids") or changing the Set Type to "College". From there, you can check each card, hover over the Team Name and make sure the TID is 260. Anything that doesn't show 260 in the link (like 2207 for basketball, 2863 for baseball or 7729 for misc sport) needs to be corrected.

Another thing you can do on the Multi-Sport sets (or any set) is click on "Teams" on the left side, and every TID with at least one card in the set will be listed.

EXAMPLE: Mississippi State multi-sport Panini set Team listing

Hover over each team link and you can see the TID after "team/", then you can go into each one and make sure cards are assigned correctly.

Thanks for the suggestions, Ed. Prior to posting this thread, I initially considered your first suggestion, but I was unsure of all possible "multi-sport" brands/sets. I will play around with this.

I finally had some time to continue my search and it turned out to be a single card from 2017 Panini Cyber Monday - Autographs. I also found it easier to just search the associated Team cards by year (Filter) because there was less results to scan through compared to the player's cards year by year. Although this method would vary from team to team or player to player.

Nice!

If you see anything else under multi-sport where the football and basketball TIDs are wrong, feel free to correct or let us know about them. I discovered the Panini USC set had everything in the parallel checklists set to the basketball TID, so that was fun correcting...

Noticed I have 1 card listed as a Baseball sport (when i've only been doing football)

That card has the Football TID on it - but it's in a baseball set.
