Is there a place I can download a list of what all the Terminology codes in the Becketts price guide mean (The codes after the players name). I am specifically interested in the code "AU".
I know in coin collecting this means "Almost Uncirculated", but I am new at card collecting and have not learned all the jargon. I am also new at this forum stuff, so I hope I did this correct.

AU is for autograph.

I'll see if there's something I can come up with, but in reality, there's no real defined list. Especially with the abbreviations for some of the subsets of cards. One subset might be PM meaning Point Men, and another PM on another set could be Perfect Matchup. But some of the commons are:

GU - Game Used (could be plain swatch or patch, or shoes, wrist bands, head bands, etc.)
AU - Autograph
RC - Rookie
XRC - Extended Rookie
HOF - Hall of Famer
