I would say that vintage does not necessarily mean that a particular object must be 80 or 100 year old when it comes to photo postcards I would rather say , that GENERALLY postcard is vintage if it was produced / printed circa the time when the original photo shot was made ....for example. Madonna postcard produced in early 80-ies showing Madonna singing on stage in mid 80-ies is vintage ...the same picture reproduced 15 later is no more vintage ...I only try to imagine how it will be perceived in 100 years ...

For my own use I name movie star postcards "vintage' if they were produced circa the time when a particular star was popular ..eg. Bardot postcards produced in 50-60ies are vintage for me and those of 80-ies are not...

I agree with the beginning of the e-bay discussion in the link provided in an above post.

Think wine--it's where 'vintage' comes from--a vintage is a particular year. I use "vintage 1910s postcard", say, to describe something that comes from around the 1910s. This way, "vintage 1970" works as well--I'm saying this card comes from around the year 1970; I'm making an educated guess based on the latest model car, the fashions or a postmark. This use also lets the buyer know that the card was issued to the best of my knowledge contemporary with with image, ie. it's not a reproduction.

Many antique stores I visit or listings for items on the internet appear to use the word 'vintage' (without a year given) to mean circa '40s-60s. It refers to a style much like Art Deco or Nouveau do. (Replace 'vintage' with 'deco' and you get my meaning.) If two people agree to this use of the term, it works as well. "Atomic" is another term, or 'tag', used when cataloguing images from the 1950s and early '60s. The trouble is, I know what I mean by 'atomic' when referring to the style and feel of an image, but my definition may not match another's. Using "vintage 1930s" shouldn't be confusing, though--it means the item comes from the 1930s.

Be clear in your description and you should have no problems.
