So today vintage is pre '88, last year, pre '87, next year pre '89, so in 2018 my '94s will be vintage?

No longer being made? That particular model, or the drum company? or...

Not so sure about that. I recall in the early 90's Rogers drums were becoming quite collectible. Of course, the vintage collector market was really small then. Harry Cangany was one guy who was championing Rogers drums then. And yes, by the 2000's, they were off the charts for a while. Like everything else, their value took a hit after 9/11 or so and prices adjusted.

Personally, I was crazy for Rogers drums in the early 90's.

In 1991, I "discovered" a mom and pop music store in Johnstown, PA. It was like going back in time to the 1960's. They had N.O.S. Fender guitars and amps from the sixties-seventies, along with 60's Rogers kits still in the un-opened boxes.

I was able to buy wood Powertones in various finishes, a few complete Rogers kits (black onyx, red sparkle, blue sparkle) and other stuff....at 1960's prices. It was unbelievable. When I inquired as to the prices, I was told that four piece kits were $399 and 4 piece kits were $499 and Powertones were $125. WHAT? I almost passed out. And this was 1991. Even though the drums were only 25 years old or so, I considered them to be true vintage instruments and very desirable at that time. However, I just don't feel that enthusiasm about a set of 1988 Ludwigs or Tamas and really don't see them being valuable vintage collector drums of the future. Nice drums? Certainly. That's just me.
