What is the actual print date of the magazine?
Depending on certain magazine names, certified collectors categorized under vintage or collectible since some magazines are indeed referred to as “vintage” (like LOOK or POST magazine) and others as collectibles (like ROLLING STONE or LiFE and so on)…
Can you provide more details please? thanks!

20 years to be considered vintage,a real antique is at least 100 years :)

I have to agree, but you know, it is hard to swallow the idea that 20-yrs is vintage when my kids are 33 and 38!

In my opinion magazines can be vintage 1980’s or 1990’s or newer. The word vintage for me is a period of time. A wine can be vintage 2008. Vintage is not always old. I purchase and sell past issue magazines. I consider most of the time magazines Pre 1980 as collectible as they chronicle and describe another period of time relating to our society and culture. What could be a better snap shot of an earlier time period then that time periods magazines. I would label your magazine a collectible vintage 198? magazine.

I have to agree with jadeemac080. I have read somewhere that’s how you determine the [URL removed] 20 years for vintage, antique at least 100 years.

Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
