vintage
To my mind, the term "vintage" refers to older items that are from a given year, or era, and that are of high quality. Not everything that is old is vintage. I could understand speaking of "pre-war vintage" and "post-war vintage." But I am not inclined to think of them other terms, especially if they get blended into a conceptual soup.

Australia is my favorite place to visit. Rented a condo for a month near Darling Harbour for the 2000 Olympics. I was also there during the Rugby World Cup in 2003. I would be a Sydneysider if I had a choice with Palm Cove, north of Cairns being second and Brisbane being third. Five total trips there. My wife and I got married in Sydney in 2006. I want to make it to the Red Centre on my next trip and walk the circuit around Uluru (Ayers Rock). I have had some offers to go see some footy at the MCG the next time I head there.

They go for big dollars in Australian auctions, in the thousands each because they so seldom turn up. Not sure I've ever seen a rugby one. Last edited by 68Hawk; 02-24-2021 at 02:38 PM.

Many Australian sellers will list that they only ship within the country. However, I have found that by contacting them they will ship to the U.S. An Aussie dollar is about 80¢ U.S. It just hit a 3 year high due to a rise in commodity prices and lower unemployment over there. Years ago I got my hands on packs of Australian Basketball League cards at a sporting goods convention here in the U.S. A lot of Americans play in that league. I saw quite a few familiar names.
