Search & Filter

Global Search

While you're in a sports category, a search bar will be visible in the navigation bar. You can use this to search for cards and other items easily.

This search is best suited for quick and straightforward queries, such as finding athlete names or set names. However, complex combinations of terms (e.g., Name, Set, Numbered, Parallel) might not return results.

Advanced Filter

For a more precise search, you can use the filter options where you can set each criterion individually. By default, only a few settings are visible, but you can expand them by clicking on "Advanced Filter."

Here’s what each option means:

  • Product Type
    Choose which product types you want to filter by. Currently available options include single cards or sealed products like cases, boxes, and packs.
  • Global Search
    The global search bar is available in the filter as well.
  • Manufacturer
    Filter by manufacturer or brand, such as Panini, Topps, Leaf, etc.
  • Set Name
    The "Set Name" is the name associated with boxes, packs, and single cards. For example "Prizm FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022"
  • Card Type
    We categorize all single cards into five groups: Base, Autograph, Insert, Memorabilia, and Sticker.
  • Card Set Name
    Not to Confuse with the "Set Name"
    The "Card Set Name" refers to a set within a set of a specific card category.
  • Parallels
    Search for a specific parallel by name
  • Numbered
    Rare cards and parallels are often numbered, meaning they are limited in quantity and shown with /#. You can omit the / in the search field. For valuable 1/1 (One of Ones) cards, simply enter 1 here.
  • Team
    Some athletes change teams throughout their careers. Use this option to search for players from a specific team.
  • Card Name or Athlete
    While for most Single Cards the Athlete Name is equal to the Card Name, it is not true for all cards. In Racing ,for example, some its common to have the racing car or the race track as its own card.
