Jesus! What a **bleep** dumpster fire of a change. I have to wade through 3 million items to even remotely try and find something that might peak my interest, especially if I just want to search through Platinum age items.

EBay seems to think people are only searching for super heroes, but what about the obscure **bleep**? I don't want to look through a **bleep** load of garbage. They obviously have no idea what a comic collector is or why we need differe

A couple of possibilities that might be good starting points for Platinum Age items.

A search:

And a category browse that finds a few more items:

I've been buying and selling comic books on this site since 1999, and this change to the category system is not more helpful.  It is a nightmare.  I have about $50K worth of golden age books I was getting ready to sell on ebay, but this change gives me pause.  I may use Heritage instead.
