Searching for cards you need on ebay

OK, so a friend of mine and I are arguing about how to list cards so registry set (company) collectors can find them, but we disagree on how the registry guys search for their cards. So here's the question- what do you guys type in the search bar:
- Do you search by set using something general like "1982 Topps PSA 10" and then see all the cards from the set in PSA 10?
- Do you search for only the cards you need by number, like "1982 Topps #139 PSA 10"?
- Do you search for the cards you need by player name, like "1982 Topps Henderson PSA 10"?
Any insight would be appreciated.
Edit- This includes any searches you have saved so ebay informs you when something is listed.

If I was doing a 1986 fleer basketball set in PSA 10 I would search
1986 fleer PSA 10
This way I can get a look at all the current PSA 10's listed..
As far as searches go, for my 1955 Bowman football---I list 1955 Bowman PSA8 , under the football heading. For either my 74, 83 05 84, I have both PSA 10 & PSA 9 for headers. For my 94 Topps , its simply PSA 10. For the cheesy players sets that I have , I have say Steve Rogers PSA, as the header. If I see something in the list, I lock it onto my watch list.
If your friend has some nice items, they may take the time and contact the register owner, that the cards might help most. Ebay is not the same Ebay it was a year ago. I have many , many cards that I can move , just by starting a buyer/ seller relationship.
Good luck---Sonny

I also search by team, so that is always helpful in the title, but in those searches I also search the descriptions.
Always looking for Topps Salesman Samples, pre '51 unopened packs, E90-2, E91a, N690 Kalamazoo Bats, and T204 Square Frame Ramly's
Thanks Again!
Edited to read PSA 9, not 8
