Vintage vs. Antique
I was trying to explain to someone how, when and why these terms are used in our hobby and how they seem to differ from other collectibles. For example, how a 1930's toy is generally called an "antique", but a '30's card is called "vintage". She asked if there are any "antique baseball cards" and I balked. The conversation had gotten to a point where even I wasn't quite sure anymore. A dealer once told me that vintage is 50-100 years old and antique is anything older than that, but even that doesn't seem applicable across the board.
Does anyone use a more concrete distinction between the two terms?
