Thanks Al and it is nice to hear from you again. There are a good amount of tickets in Al's scans that I was able to identify as per year and date, and it was absolutely great to speak to someone who actually remembered going to these games. It was pretty cool to be able to speak to him about an 18 inning game that he went to with his dad. His details were very helpful and we were on the same page with the date from the 1st second of conversation, which was also nice for me in reference to the research I have been conducting.
One thing to note, steer clear from any stamped Yankees undated tickets. Unfortunately, somebody got a hold of a stamper and some undated tickets a while back and put them together. I have some of those EXACT tickets, minus the stamp and the majority of them are 100% not from the game that is stamped. In all my research, I found (1) stamped Yankees ticket that I believe is real and the stamp completely differed from any of the others. It also was the only meaningless game from the stamped samples, the others were some of the most historic days possible from 1950-1970. Some of them are simply way off, for example a Game 60 ticket that is stamped 9/20/1968 (Mantle's 536th HR)? How can home game 60 be that late in September? Furthermore, it is not even the correct year ticket which actually, tends to be the case with most of them. Even better, 9/20/1968 was an unscheduled make up game and would not have been assigned a home game # because that date did not exist at the time of printing. Others are much more thought out, but I am able to identify some of these tickets for what they are so if you have any stamped undated Yankees tickets or unstamped ones send me a scan and I can most likely give you confirmation that it is correct or at least I can send you in the right direction.
At this point I am looking for all undated tickets, so again please feel free to email me at
