Yankees Ticket Dating Guide BOTCHED

[batsballsbases]

Hi David,
I wanted to ask a question this has nothing to do with what people think is right or wrong, I posed this question to Pat 3 years ago maybe now that its been awhile you can answer it. I have these tickets and have had them for many years. A long story but my father was connected with food vending at yankee stadium and we were there often . I went to mickey mantle day as my father had business there myself and my brother were allowed all over the stadium.. I was running around in the bleachers and started to pick up ticket stubs as an 11 year old would. I have my ticket and program for mantle day but as we know these bleacher tickets arenot dated... Looking at the keyman list it says that F tickets are possibly from mantle day. I can tell you for a fact I picked these up that day. Im 60 now but remember it like yesterday. Look at the tickets and you tell me am I correct? Are they from mantle day? Thanks in advance here is my ticket from that day also....

this was the highest attended Game for over 6 years with capped max attendance of 60,000 in Yankee Stadium at that time , however there were
60,096 actual paid patrons , these tickets would have been the over flow as they would have run out of the Bleacher and Grandstand section tickets
most likley standing room or squeezed into the bleachers which just long benches , The Letter A and the pricing tells me all I need to know confirming what you already know these are Mickey Mantle Day
I will now be able to Clarify the finding , thanks for sharing these images
and can you remember it being standing room only especially being a single admission double header and being bunched in like sardines

David,
I do remember it was packed! We stayed way longer after the games were over as my father had business there. That is why I guess we were able to pick up so many stubs and in those days everyone just threw them on the ground.. Al

Why would anyone who is providing his research to help collectors be responsible for PSA slabbing the tickets wrong? PSA should be doing their own research.

David,
I also had these tickets which I also believe were from Mantle Day only picked up 2 of these guys. Just wondered if you have seen these type of tickets.

I know the guide is botched, David knows it (but can't/won't) admit it, and Jonathan I'd guess you might be the owner of some of these tickets that if they were identified correctly would sink like a stone in value so you don't want to believe it.

Here's a few more, but I guess people who attended the games wrote the wrong date they attended off by a few years, yah that always happens when I write the date on something.

Here's a "1948" with a 1949 date written on it and a "1940" with a 1942 date on it.

Examples pop up all the time on Ebay and David will say oh that program doesn't go with that ticket even if its stapled or taped inside of it, or writing is on it, he's will never admit there could be (translated: there is) a flaw in his system. The only years that are correct again are 1923-1928, after that good luck. I'm done, believe what you want.

Shoeless Again you are incorrect I do not own any undated Yankee Tickets right now. I have never sent an undated Yankee ticket to PSA. I have no horse in this race. You are simply wrong.
As for your most recent "evidence" that the guide is botched in 1948 Topping took over and that first year Tickets started again with A. Makes perfect sense to me. Can you please post what you think 1948 yankee grandstand tickets look like.

[Shoeless Moe]

Jonathan, for someone who doesn't have a horse in the race you seem to have a very strong opinion I am incorrect.

Are you friends with David or Gironi or someone else who's not speaking up, just curious? Seems very odd you are so sure I'm wrong yet don't collect Yankees undated tickets. Obviously someones pulling your strings or I insulted one of your buddies.

And again I'm done on this matter so this may be my last reply on it. Otherwise we all could go back and forth forever on it.

And I still never got a reply on the Hologram one that was recently at Goldin, you care to comment?

[bigfanNY]

Shoeless Again you are incorrect I although I respect and appreciate the work that went into the guide they provided. I have no relationship with them other than a couple pleasant interactions here on the board. Before you posted it I didn't even know their first names. My only reason for posting to this thread is that as a Memorabilia collector I have found the ingormation on the Keyman site both helpful and correct.
I have accumulated s number of scrapbooks and scorecards over the years. And many contained undated stubs some I could date and those I could matched up to the guide (Years 1933 thru 1941) I said that currently I do not have any undated stubs but I have owned many over the years.
As for you saying this is your last post for the second time ... time will tell.
Your last point was addressed in at least two posts that I read but allow me to paraphrase. Every body knows that PSA from time to time has incorrect information on their flips. But to their credit they own up to it and fix it when it is bought to their attention. If the person who purchased the stub goes to the Keyman site they will find the stub was misidentified. Thanks to the work of others that the generously share with anyone.

as you can clearly see the CLEAN SWEEPS AUCTION TICKET Game 1 has a letter G it has no yankees logo impossible for a 1947 ticket all tickets 1946 and beyond have logos with out exception until the 1980's

see pictures enclosed of a Same Game I letter G actually 1939
however notice the signature it has Barrow it also has No Yankee top hat logo
see Barrow Letter H game ! see tickets with logo
if G is 1947 what the heck would H be what did they reinstate Barrow
barrow ceased to be Team President In 1945
The estate sold the team to a group of Larry MacPhail, Dan Topping, and Del Webb in 1945,
McPhail took over in 1946
see link to the Logo History
https://www.toddradom.com/blog/the-y...-logos-of-1946
when He introduced the Yankees Iconic logo Top hat on ALL YANKEES BASEBALL TICKETS FROM THAT POINT ON there was a slight change in 1947 from which point the bat did protrude thru ball
no tickets 1946 and on were produced with out that logo NONE ZERO nada it would be the 1980's when that changed
check every dated ticket and undated 1946 through 1980's all have The Yankees top hat logo with out exception also 1947 admission Price was $1.25 stadium was no longer used it was Grandstand
unless the yankees decided to revisit years gone by and make their 1947 opening day ticket not have a logo and just for shits and giggles put a Letter G under the game # totally out of sequence from the previous years wow and while were there lets lower the Prices from $1.25 to $1.10 imagine that
thats bush league thinking
thanks Joe sMoe great find on this clean sweep auction
the proof is in the pudding keep on believing those hand written dates


I guess in tennis they would call this Game SET and Match
mike drop !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
