If not junk wax era, then at least maybe UP to the start of the junk wax era becomes "vintage"? Then we can come up with a name for post-junk to whatever the "modern" era is, then "ultra modern".
Of course, to start down this path, we'd all have to agree on when the junk wax era started.
I was having a conversation about 1980 Topps yesterday, and said "isn't 1980 Topps REALLY the last set of the 70's?". It's like, "the 60's in music not starting until 1964 or so".
