Actually, James, 1966 sounds vintage to me. Saying that vintage can only be anything 1925 and older is a stretch to me. The board name is a bit of a misnomer. It should be 'Antique Baseball Cards.' Traditionally, antique means 100 years or older. But at least 75 or 80 is perfectly acceptable.

Last week I gave a neighborhood 10 year old a beat up 1934 Goudey. After slipping it into his album next to his prized Edgar Martinez Jersey Card he said, "This is now my oldest card. I also have a card from the eighties." In other words, vintage is a relative term.
