Great thread by the way. Thanks for starting it

As a kid who collected in the mid-to-late 80's, the Yount and Brett cards were "vintage" to me. I mean, they were older than ME! And again, with no ebay, they weren't easy to find. Those two cards along with the Rickey Henderson and Nolan Ryan rookies were my "vintage" dream cards.
