Apparently the term vintage has come to mean about 50 years old. I bought cards in packs in the 50s, so I have had lots of cards from this era which survived my youth (thanks mom!).

The first cards which I purchased which did not come with a stick of gum were two common OJs from Lipsett. I had held off a long time before diving in to this pre-war arena. But these were a must buy by 1983. A good @$35, and a vg/ex@$50.

These cards have not appreciated well. The good would currently sell for a little over $100. and the vg/ex at just over $200., I think. Not quite a stellar performance over the past 20+ years, but they were a "must buy" and they are still a "must keep".
