Yes, that would include the first time Mantle truly dressed in a Yankee uniform...it is unofficial and doesn't "count". A rookie is a rookie and a game is a game....no matter how you slice it. You can't discriminate against exhibition games and refuse to label them accurately, while grading the photographs taken during the same type of games and labeling them accurately. If it's known to be a photo taken during an exhibition period, the photos would have been taken at an "unofficial" time in their career. Therefore,, photos are just as insignificant and inferior as the game tickets themselves. This is the ludricous double-standard that PSA has created, and I'm honestly not even sure they're smart or professional enough to realize it.

Easy solution. Send it to Beckett. Maybe they will do what you want. They need ticket business.
