Defining "Vintage"

Posted By: jay behrens

in the world of antiques, for something to called an "antique", it has to be 100 years old. The lone exception is cars, which only have to be 50 years old. Don't ask me why. I have no clue. My 1973 Datsun 240z is the first car from the 1970s to be offically classified a classic, but it's still not an antique.

I sold toys for a number of years and the term vintage is used mainly to differentiate an original from later reproduction or special edition produced years later.

For me, vintage baseball cards have always been pre-Bowman/Topps cards.
