To me the modern era started with double knit uniforms, so pre-72ish or so.

I like the division on the board, pre war, post war , and post 1980. I hate the word vintage almost as much as the word poppage

I hear you but nothing is worse than poppage.

It's an interesting question, when I started collecting (and was aware of the organized hobby) was probably about 1980, and vintage was 1960. Do kids today think 1998 is vintage?
I guess it reminds me how much I've aged and how different this hobby to me than it was back then. Finding "old" cards back then was exotic, now you can get pretty much any Topps card throughout their history online. I remember I met a kid who had 1970-71 cards, I gave up just about anything to get those exotic cards. |

A grape by any other name
Two different categories of neologisms, but I agree that vintage should only be applied to wines.

I also hate it when I have to go to a dictionary to find out what someone here is talking about

I've always considered Ts all the way to Goudeys in their own individual category, and I've always though of 50s-75 as vintage. However, now that I'm only collecting "vintage" I am thinking that 50s-65 should be vintage. I know everything until 73 was in series. But commons from like 66-75 (the end of what I used to consider vintage) are next to worthless. You can get them for like 10 cents apiece nowadays.

My bad, Al - I should have just opined that vintage had always been perfectly happy as just a noun and should never have been misappropriated for use as an adjective in our hobby.
