Default Game 77 tickets

That being said, unless the patron wrote info on the ticket in pen or pencil, or the tickets were accompanied with a scorebook, program from the game it's tough to say these tickets are from precisely this game or game 77 from, say, 1955 or 1956.

I will try to keep an eye out for other tickets from this final game at NY Giants that come up for sale to give you a reference point.

I would tend to believe the man's story based on what you've described, BTW...
Scott - Thank you for your comments and your confirmation that they are at least from the right time period. Although I personally do not doubt they are the 1957 tickets, I obviously have a vested interest in that position!

If you do come across any others for sale, I would certainly appreciate hearing about it. Thanks Again, Jack
