I was the seller of the ticket originally, and just calculated the game using a linear counting of home games. The guy that bought it from me used some voodoo counting to calculate the game he thought it was. He could have been correct, I didn't actually read his entire ebay listing. The only sure thing is, if the ticket isn't printed with the date and there isn't any other credible writing on it indicating date, any date/game assigned to the ticket is a leap of faith.
By the way, the guy who bought the ticket from me pm'd me on ebay about a different 1918 ticket I had, and from the angle of being a collector (that's how I took it) asked if I had any others. I said I did, and sold him the ticket he ended up flipping- using a different selling account than the one he'd pm'd me from. I wasn't really that enamored of the sort of deke he pulled and I doubt I'll ever be selling to him again. All's fair.
