Another lame thread defining “vintage”

[4reals]

After discussing this topic on here I decided to create my own opinionated timeline. You may view it here:

I realize there are many differing views and not everyone will agree with what I created, however, if you are gracious enough to take a look I would appreciate any feedback on anything I might need to edit that is historically inaccurate. Or if you have trouble viewing it I can try to email it to you directly.

I always thought this was the card that epitomized junk wax.

Hey - this is a VERY interesting and useful chart. I don't see anything here I would take exception to with regard to eras in the game and in the hobby. Current hobby is in an undefined era? You bet it is.

The only historical nit I might pick is that the AL was really Ban Johnson's thing, having bought the Western League in 1894 and carried it forward into the 20th century. But I know Comiskey played a huge role too.

But seriously - this is a great resource. Thanks!
