What is everyone's idea of vintage?

mchenrycards · Sep 5, 2012

There are many ideas out there as to the definition of vintage sportscards.Some feel vintage is pre-war while others feel vintage is 1950's and back. I was just curious as to what everyone's idea of vintage is. Mine happens to be pre-1974 when Topps started issuing cards all at once.

Looking for other's ideas.

I agree. To me it is mid 70's back.

I usually go with anything pre-1970.

Because I have such fond memories as a kid of the 1977 Topps, this is the cut off for me.

For me anything that is 35 years or old is consider vintage. Now that will be a problem when 1989 upperdeck and chrome is 35 years old :lol: how am i gonna call chrome or upperdeck stuff vintage..

1980 for me. I am a 1980 model myself and will not allow anything younger than me to be considered "vintage".

I'll go with 1980 as the cut-off.

Great set, with great HOF iconic RC, and it was the last year of just Topps.

And also those '81 releases were SOOOO bad, in every aspect...

Pre-1970.

jay1065 · Sep 13, 2012

Gotta go with Pre-1970. I was born in '79, so I don't consider anything (myself included

) from the '70's to be vintage.

I go with '80 and before. Besides '80 looks similar to '74

pre 1980

rum151man · Nov 22, 2012

I always went with 75 and older maybe cause I love the 75 set & the minis

What year did players start having multiple rookie cards. Multiple as in 3 or more

That would have to be 1986, when sportflics started. Or 1981 if you count OPC.
