Aside from selling, perhaps it is only unsubstantiated perception that there is dramatically less of the actual vintage things, other than baseball cards, I search for on eBay, and far more modern things attempting to capitalize on the vintage things...metal signs made to look vintage is just one example. For the last couple of years, vintage railroad timetables, I find British and European en masse, modern Amtrak and the like, and far less pre-war American.

For selling and buying vintage collectibles alike, with fee percentages and holds when selling, and far less vintage stuff when searching to buy, with so many other venues, Amazon and Etsy, etc., I wouldn't think eBay's future is bright. But I am a true pessimist.
