Is there a standard when cards are considered vintage on these boards?

    My 2 cents worth: I personally consider vintage to be '77 or older, but then again I'm middle-aged (41); younger guys might consider '89 to be vintage and older guys might consider '63 to be vintage. My thinking might have been partially influenced by SMR, which does not estimate the value of PSA 10's prior to '78. Again, just my 2 cents worth.

    I started collecting in 1970 so I used to always consider vintage as being 1969 or earlier. However, I have since expanded my collecting range and now consider vintage to be prior to the 1952 Topps set. I think that you will find some similar answers, however, there is no 1 absolute definition on "vintage". Think of "beauty/vintage is in the eye of the beholder"

    There is none. Joe Orlando just wrote a decent article a couple months ago in he SMR about what constitutes vintage. Everyone has an opinion.

    Think a lot of people used to say pre 1975. that was sometime ago, so it's probably different now. Everythings relative. My "vintage", may not be someone elses "vintage".

    If the set does not have HIGH NUMBERS, it aint vintage.
    My vote is 1973 & earlier.

    IMHO anything my age or older is vintage. '76 and prior. Plus I really don't like the design of '77-'80.

    Modern - 1981 to present

    Vintage - 1969 and back

    Don't ask me about in between, its a crap shoot.

    Of course, craigslist posters will have you believe 1991 Topps Wax is "vintage"
    Kiss me once, shame on you.
    Kiss me twice.....let's party.
