I never knew that in order to be an "antique" it had to be over 100 years old. I can promise you that some of the local antique shops aren't following that rule! Actually now that I think of it, MIL bought me a "retired" TY (Beanie Baby) monkey at an antique shop in BC about a month ago. It might be 10 years old, but it sure ain't 100! lol And they had a bunch of He-Man and G.I. Joe toys from the 80's that she was telling DH about because she recognized them from his toy collection he had as a kid
