Maybe it's simpler just to refer to some things more generically as "old cards." That's what we called 1950's cards in the 1980's. The term "vintage" didn't really even come into play to my knowledge until I was an adult in the hobby. I thought it was silly at first myself.

Back in 1972-73 when at the ripe age of 11, I got my first older cards ranging from 1951-1964 we'd refer to them as "old-time cards." I knew someone who had one 33 Goudey common and that was one of the most amazing items that I'd ever seen. To be young once again...
