Poll: What do you consider a "Vintage" baseball card?

[Jay Wolt]

I hit 60's since the early part of that decade is over 50 years old

60's for me too. I've always seen it that way, since I was a kid in the 80's. I don't really know why, but the cutoff point was literally 1969. 1970 topps wasn't vintage to me.

I'm close, for me 1919 is the last year of vintage cards so the T213-3 set makes it as a vintage set.

I always say:

Vintage: 1959 and older
Old cards: 1960's
Semi-old cards: 1970's
Recent cards: 1980's
Almost current cards: 1990's
Current cards: 2000+

I have been lately re-thinking this though, and i think 1960's are probably vintage now we are already in 2012.

I guess it shows my age when i go nuts over someone talking about a 1992 VINTAGE card!!!!

I know what you mean. Recently, I was bored with hunting down the stray big dawgs and high numbers I need in the 60's and had a buddy send me a pile of 1970 commons just because. I believe he sent like 220 cards. That is where thayt set will sit.....It just didn't FEEL right.....

I said 70s because once we get to the 80s the TOPPS dynasty was over for a generation or more. *(and maybe I didn't want to feel so old, growing up as a kid in the 60s)
