I've just returned to selling comics on eBay after a nine year absence and I'm curious -what's the best category to sell older underground comix on eBay? What's the best category to sell minicomix?  I haven't tried selling either kind of comix since I've come back (most of my recent auctions have been for old comic book fanzines and some regular-type comic books) but a cursory examination of where others are selling undergrounds/minicomix shows it to be "all over the map."  It would be nice if eBay had just one category for underground comix (and the same with minicomix -regardless of age).
But given "the conditions that prevail," what have you found to be the most effective category in which to list older underground comix and minicomix for sale/auction on eBay?  Any ideas/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.  Thanx in advance!

I've had quite a lot of success with: Bronze Age (1970-83) > Other. At this point, it really comes down to the keywords you use in both title and description. I always head each and every auction with "UNDERGROUND COMIX." Case, of course, doesn't matter, I just try to grab a little extra attention with the all-caps approach.

They've added a alternative and underground section under the Bronze (1970+) and Silver (1969-) age sections.
