Default Are 1948 Leaf's Considered Vintage?

Posted By: Tim Mayer

i have always considered this year my drop dead date for what I consider vintage in my mind, and close to not being vintage for me...and just a touch newer than what i personally collect and like

thats said when i make case and do shows...the 49 Leaf cards go in with my case with my 50's cards and I pitch them to the customers that like those types of cards,,,and to me usually they aren't the same guys that collect the tobacco and that type of stuff...
i don't think they look good in my case with my e cards and tobacco either ,,,

but I don't sell much, and just sell as a goof and hobby, so maybe I am off base

i do think it has to do with the collectors perception, as I think of 40's and 50's cards as my dad's type of cards, and not vintage truly to me,,,,
