Pattern matching problem

I have an issue in which I have comma-separated tickers for stocks listed in a MySQL field, for instance:

T, VZ in one entry

NTAP, AAPL in one entry


The problem is that when I query for %T%, it will bring back the second entry, even though I only wanted to pull the first entry. In other words, I want items that only match T, not NTAP. Is there any way to write a query to control for this, or do I have to redo my database?

Thanks much.
