Is a Roger Waters Promo Pros and Cons LP Signed in 1984 "Vintage"? Your Say?

Last century. Last Millennium. 34 years ago. Vintage or no?

IMO 

1980 and prior (for Floyd) is considered vintage

after 1980 is modern

I don't give 2 red cents what webster dictionary says. 

SO.... this Waters is NOT vintage

It's modern?

this is an example of true vintage

and up to 1980 although 1979 is my true cutoff

This is a good natured discussion between friends. Please post your opinions. 

agreed good buddy

chit chat banter banter nudge nudge

all in good nature mi amigo

"Vintage" has a context. What would come before this? School notes?

well my school notes would be considered "ancient" hehe

I will attempt to look at this from a potential buyer's perspective. It's a great signature on a wonderful album cover. The condition appears excellent. The drawback is it's inscribed. Seems there are way too many modern collectors who dislike inscriptions. Personally, that doesn't bother me.

Roger has been a very generous signer and, currently, the market is softer than it should be. Time and attrition will help this in the long run. 

When the album was signed is a nice piece of information but probably does not add monetary value to the piece, imo. This piece is worthy of any fine collection but, to get top dollar for it, timing is everything.

As for the original question, I would not consider this vintage.

Is a new vinyl copy of Pros and Cons signed this year in gold worth the same to a seasoned collector as the 1984 tour signed vinyl? If Not, why? Whatever the reason(s), that is probably what I am calling "vintage". Thanks for all replies :)

I was just thinking - a 1981 tour program and concert t-shirt for The Wall at Earls Court is NOT vintage?

upon further readings. I have found out that the word "vintage" was solely used to describe the year of the grape or bottle of wine. It has since been bastardized and is now used by collectors or auction houses to describe an item's period of age. But... when using the term "vintage" a date must accompany it. SO... in effect, anyone can use the term "vintage" in any manner they wish these days.

In conclusion, it looks like no matter what answer is given here, WE are ALL in the right.

In the right?

"Absolutely! I certainly was in the right..." (in this case WE) - Pink Floyd, Us and Them 1973 :)

I sometimes I feel like I am Forrest Gump in a world of Rhodes Scholars on this site. I just ask myself three questions when an autograph catches my eye. Would I like to own it? Is it authentic? Can I afford it? Yes to these three questions and it's mine!
