I guess it may just be a compulsive desire on my part to wanting categories specifically defined. I personally like the 25 year rule Harliduck mentioned the car community has.

Yeah! I was on a Twitter thread, and the topic was show off your best vintage. I was expecting a bunch of Post-war cards up to 1980, but 50% were pre-war, and some cards were early 90s. And I thought, that ain't right! I have gotten really used to the dating and terms used on Net54.

Each collector determines what is vintage to them. Ask a 95 year old and a 15 year old and you will probably get 2 completely different answers, neither are wrong.

If someone thinks 1999 is vintage, I might disagree but I can't say they are wrong.

Technically speaking, use of vintage for any non-wine item is anything between 20 and 99 years old. 100+ is an antique.
I believe the age of a person has a lot to do with its intepretation as well. As we age, our frame of reference tends not to shift easily. In 1980, I considered 1920's coins and 50's to 60's cards to be OLD. Today, I would not consider 60's coins or 70's to 80's cards in the same context.
