 Q.    How long will cards remain in my shopping card?

A.  48 hours after you begin an order your cart will be emptied (Remember the Host Server is running on EDT or EST depending on the time of the year).  Be sure to plan so you can complete an order within 48 hours after beginning.

Q.  Do you trade cards?

A.  We do not trade.  There is too much work involved in putting cards into our database and taking other cards out to make trading desirable.  We suggest you try some of the many online sites set up for trading.

Q.  Do you buy cards?

A.  At the present time we are not buying cards.  We have just opened our website.  In the future we may start buying certain types of cards that we have an interest in.  Please check back here periodically.  We will post information here if we start buying.

Q.  Why are some of your card prices over book?

A.  There are two possible reasons for this.  First, we have a huge database, prices constantly change and it is a lot of work trying to stay on top of pricing.  If you think a card is priced high because it is a mistake, please feel free to ask us about it.  Secondly, prices change before you see them change in Beckett® price guide.  Remember, it is Beckett’s job to report what we and other card dealers are charging. Beckett does not set card prices. Prices are determined by supply and demand.

Q.  Why are there mistakes in your database?

A.  The answer to this is probably obvious.  We don’t make mistakes on purpose, it is just a huge job computerizing tens of thousands of cards and sometimes we make mistakes.  If you see a player listed with the wrong team or college, please let us know.  We appreciate your help in keeping our database accurate.

Q.  Do you take wantlists?

A.  No.  One of the wonderful things about our database is that you can easily find the cards you need if we have them.  If you need certain cards, simply search for them.  If you need some 1997 Topps cards to complete a set, just type “1997” in the “Year” field and click on “Topps” in the dropdown in the “Brand” field and run the search.

Q.  Do you sell team sets?

A.  At the present time we have only the Cleveland Brown's team sets in our database. We may decide to offer others in the future.  We do have a few team sets for other teams that are not in our database.  They are all from 1987 through 1991.  Ask if you are interested.
