As a follow-up to this thread. I am still looking for my orginal paperwork for this
ticket, but I did find something that I had cut and pasted from the original
ebay listing.
Lou Brock 3000 hit ticket
In response to some questions, the ticket was purchased from Adelson Sports, a leading ticket-dealer in the Industry. Adelson Sports serves as the ticket authenticator for GAI, and offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee!! The owner of Adelson Sports certifies that he used this ticket when he attended the game in 1979!!

So, I emailed Adelson sports to see if they could at least give me a little background...especially if it was one they they had actually used.
Ken Adelson was nice enough to email me back but could not confirm that this ticket was the one he had used. I think he was being polite because I think someone that sells that many tickets would probably remember that ticket, and if not, at least realize that the markings were off.
I will continue to look for my original paperwork but have pretty much written this one off. At least I should soon have one of my "holy grails" to submit to the January pickup thread that will make me feel better about all of this.
