Search Tips for:	TheCardshop.com - Bayside Sportscards Beckett Store
What to type first !!!	Year , Issue Name , Player -- Years should be typed as full four digits, (i.e. 1999, 2002). Then type name of set exactly: follow these rules: Refractors- always use plural form!! "Ref" or refractor wont always work - except for on our site. This is also true for "Retrofractors" which needs the plural also. Autographs and Jerseys will go by name of set. We have tried to make our listings searchable as Jersey or Jsy, but not in all products. Best to search your favorite player, then sort by highest price by clicking on the price number, most of the higher price cards will be game used. Numbers - Sometime Beckett uses prefix's and some times they don't. If you don't find an insert under say 15MM for Mark McGwire, try 15, or MM15. Subsets and ShortPrints - Remember short prints and subset may be "gems" or "Superstars" but if they are part of the regular set Beckett usually abbreviates the subset name. Best to use player last name and card number. TIP !! Combo Cards - Many times beckett will abbreviate name or not use first name when more than two players appear on card. Try search under last name, and then sort highest to lowest dollar value to see if you missed key cards.
Rookies	RC designations are given for base cards only. Parallels and subsets do not carry the RC tag. Best to search the rookie year of the player with his full name to get all rookie year cards.
Autographs	May not always be under autographs, because certain sets use "signatures", "signings" and other word to mean autograph. In our store you can use auto or autograph. In Beckett it may not be the case.
Jersey's and Game Used	Inserts sets retain insert set name - "Authentics", or "Jerseys". You can use Jersey or GU in our store.
Spelling	Has to absolutely accurate!! We are as frustrated as you are that the system doesn't know that Mark Mgwuire isn't Mark McGwire, but that's the rules.
