2006-07 Topps
How come when I search for the following card, it doesn't show up:
2006-07 Topps #246 Brandon Roy RC
But when I add an "A" after the card #, it works:
2006-07 Topps #246A Brandon Roy RC
But the Brandon Roy card doesn't have an "A" on the back of it. The same goes for other cards around the same number.
Why is that?

There were different variations of the card (one his draft picture, one his college picture. But to put the card in the database, you (I'm guessing) weren't allowed to put the same number within the set, so it had to be differentiated. So when there are variations (and there are many) they are suffixed with a letter (at least in Beckett's system). Hope that clears it up.
