The Beckett Marketplace gives you the opportunity to search for and purchase cards and other collectible items from collectibles dealers across the country. A single shopping cart makes checkout quick, easy and secure. Use the radio buttons underneath the search bar to specify searching on Beckett.com or the Beckett Marketplace, or simply click the Marketplace tab to begin shopping.
Finding items in the Marketplace is similar to finding items on Beckett.com. Click on the Marketplace tab to access the Beckett Marketplace. Enter key words and/or use the filters on the left-hand side of the page.
When entering key words into the search field, remember that the search engine is looking for an exact match to what you typed in. So, if you're not sure of a spelling, or the exact name of a set or player, that's ok. Just enter a key word or two of what you do know, then use the filters to help narrow down your search results and find your card(s).
On the Marketplace home page, you will see a zone called FIND A DEALER. Search for your favorite dealer by entering their name and clicking the SEARCH bar. If you would rather browse for different dealers, click the BROWSE bar to page through our dealer listings. You can also look for dealers in a particular area by entering the state or zip code. If there are any matches, they will show up when you click SUBMIT. Click on their store name to get to their home page.
Another way to get to their home page is by clicking the store name when you see it in any of your searches. If you click their feedback score, you will be taken to their feedback page. This page provides feedback details about orders they have shipped. Please note that feedback is new as of December 2011, so it will not reflect any past orders.
If you have a question about an order you placed through the Beckett Marketplace, please contact the Marketplace Dealer directly. You will find contact information on their home page.
To find a dealer, use the Find a Dealer zone on the Marketplace home page. Search by the dealer's store name. When they appear in the search results, click the name and you will be taken to their home page.
If you still need assistance, please contact us at customerservice@beckett.com.
Items will remain in your shopping cart , even if you logout, for 7 days. After 7 days, your cart will expire and you will need to start over with your shopping.
If you have an item in your shopping cart, it will remain available for sale on the Marketplace until you check out. If someone else purchases the item while it is in your shopping cart, upon checkout you will receive the message: We're sorry. An item you wanted is no longer available and has been removed from your cart.
Please note that the shopping carts are internet browser and computer based sessions. This means if you start your shopping cart using one internet browser (e.g., Firefox), don't finish and try to start shopping again using a different internet browser (e.g., Chrome), you will not have your same shopping cart. This also applies if you move to a new computer. The new computer will not have your same shopping cart either.
The following policy only applies to items purchased from the Beckett Marketplace.
You may return most items sold on Beckett.com within 7 calendar days of delivery. These items must be returned in an undamaged, sellable condition. Please contact the marketplace dealer right away if you with to make a return. You will find contact information on the marketplace dealer's storefront page.
Some marketplace dealers place a re-stocking fee on returns. It is the sole discretion of the individual dealer whether or not a re-stocking fee is applied, and the amount of the fee. Marketplace dealers are encouraged to post their return policy, including information about any re-stocking fees, on their marketplace storefront page. You may also contact the marketplace dealer directly to ask them about any fees.

While we make every effort to price all of the most commonly traded raw (non-graded) single cards in our database, there will be some that do not have Beckett Price Guide values. For recently released products it typically takes up to two weeks to analyze the market and to assign values and, for most cards serial numbered to 15 or less (and other non-serial numbered scarce issues), scarcity and/or lack of market activity prohibit us from assessing an accurate valuation. Also many ancillary cards that primarily trade as complete sets, such as minor league team sets, will not have single card values assigned. Some additional sports, such as soccer and boxing will be included in our checklist data but not yet fully priced as will be some non-sports properties such as action figures. Finally, most complete sets and unopened material, such as boxes, cases and packs, have not been assigned market values.
Contact customerservice@beckett.com with information about the error. Be sure to include the item description, what the problem is, and a scan of the front and back of the card if possible. The information will get to our analysts who will check it out and update if necessary.
Graded card pricing is now available with each Online Price Guide subscription. You will see it on the Item Detail Pages in the Graded Pricing block, as well as raw card pricing. Remember that not all cards will have graded card pricing, and not all cards will be priced in every condition.
