    I’ve heard the 90’s cards referred to as “Modern Vintage”. As someone who collected in the 90’s I hate the feel of age that term puts on years I grew up in, but felt it an apt description. I knew exactly what era the card shop owner was speaking about when he said that, 90’s through early 2000’s when the cards began to get a modern update to more foil & shine than the matte & without gloss. So Vintage = pre 90’s, Modern Vintage 90’-00’s & Modern feels like anything in past 10 years or so which marches with time.
