I don't think 'vintage' should necessarily have the same 'pre-war' date split that is recognized over on the card side. Bowman and Topps came along right after wwii, so that split was natural. To me, the vintage split with game-used should be set at around the time that it all became commercialized - probably at some point in the 1980's, around the time that baseball cards became almost uncollectible due to speculation (1988?). Am I right about this? Or was it earlier for game-used?
Also, I'm not asking for a forum split or new sub-forums. This was really just a simple question about having two 'threads' - threads are not really a big deal.
Hindsight tells me I should have just done it, and if no one responded to the 'vintage' pick-ups thread, I would have had my answer.
I LOVE my game-used stuff!!!
