One player, cards in two different sports
Dave DeBuscherre
Danny Ainge John Elway Bo Jackson Deion Sanders Michael Jordan anyone else? |
Cal Hubbard had a '55 Bowman as a mlb umpire and was an All American and pro football Hall of Famer in football but I believe his only football cards are in modern 'nostalgia' sets like Swell Gum, etc. You could put him on the list with an asterisk I guess.

Wahoo McDaniel and Ernie Ladd are both in '60's Topps sets and featured in various wrestling sets.

Modern, but Tim Tebow and Russel Wilson have both baseball and football cards.
|
Dick Ricketts, and Mark Hendrickson (modern) had both baseball and basketball cards.
If there had been more than just 2 mainstream basketball sets issued between the 50s-60s, there likely would have been more players with cards in two sets. Steve Hamilton, Ron Reed, Cotton Nash and Chuck Connors each had a baseball card and played in the NBA. Connors, however appeared on a 60s Exhibit card as an actor and on his 52 Mother's Cookies card. |

Chuck Conners got a couple of hundred big league ABs and also played for the Celtics. He had this Mother's Cookies card but as for hoops, it's a dry well other than a few homebrewed cards I found.

Remember this guy?

Ricky Williams and Chris Weinke, both Heisman winners, have multiple cards, but are semi modern though.
FWIW, Kyler Murray has a 2018 Leaf baseball card. Charlie Ward has numerous FB cards depicting his time with FL State. Any other Heisman winners who have cards in two sports? |

Pete Layden hit .250 in 41 games for the Browns in 1948, and played in the NFL 1948-50. After 1948 he played baseball with the Victoria Rosebuds, a semi-pro team in Texas which played in the Guadalupe Valley League. He has some baseball cards, but I'm not sure if he has any football cards.
There were a fair amount of NFL players who played semi-pro ball. Dom Principe, NFL 1940-42 and 1946, played for the Bay Parkways in Brooklyn. Hall of Famer football player Ken Strong was a hard-hitting outfielder for the Springfield Greys. Probably some others who I'm forgetting. |
Are there any hockey cards of Kirk McCaskill?
|
Some others...

Jackie Jensen.

Kenny Lofton has an actual basketball card. Its a tougher college card. If you count those 90s college cards like that Gibson above, Garvey also has a football pose in the set.
|
If you include wrestling as a sport, a few that haven't been named include Primo Carnera, Matthew Riddle, Rhonda Rousey.
Also, if you include the Foot Locker Slam Fest cards of the late 80's, early 90's, there's a bunch of non-basketball athletes, playing basketball in those sets. Those would actually give BO, yet another sport represented on an officially licensed card. |
