Well, there's vintage and there's vintage. To most of us, vintage is prewar baseball. To a newb used to cards from 2020-present, 1970s-1980s-1990s is vintage, and other sports are more at the forefront. One newb at my table got very excited to see 1980s baseball and bought a bunch of HOFers. Another guy just cleaned out my 1970s football. I think I sold one prewar slab last time, so I am not bringing that stuff. As luck would have it owing to the last year of acquisitions, I have a lot of postwar, pre-1980 football, basketball and hockey, quite a bit of prewar nonports, a fantastic boxing accumulation, and a good amount of oddball cards and memorabilia (including a 1988 World Series Game 1 ticket), but other than the boxing and nonsports, it is 98% postwar, and 99% raw cards.
Chase: precisely. All of the pre-judging assumes that there are a variety of shows to not attend. We don't have any (well, there is that pathetic card corner at the Long Beach coin show), so when one comes along, I am there regardless.
