Members Only<\/a> RSS feeds for Iron Man #1. One book stood out with a lower price than expected. When I looked at the listing I noticed that the seller had put this book under the “superman” category on E-bay.\u00a0 It brings up the point, do you do a focused search or a broad search?<\/p>\nIf you are only doing a focused search you may be missing out on some great deals.\u00a0 Think about it.\u00a0 Let’s say you are searching for a Superman #233 comic book and you only look in the Superman category.\u00a0 First, a lot of knowledgeable collectors are probably doing the same thing.\u00a0 Also, the person selling the book is probably knowledgeable too since they knew enough and took the time to list the book in the correct category.
