whats cool it has "Good only for the first game played Yankee Stadium Season 1929"
the first two home game were rained out, but this would still have been valid for the "First Game played" at Yankee Stadium 1929
whats great about this Game , Yankees First game of the 1929 season which happened to be played at Yankee Stadium ,
It was the The first ever Yankees team to wear uniform numbers in a regulation game. and Babe Ruth hit Career Home Run 471 - Home Opener and for the first time wearing number 3 , so possibly quite special I think
I am wondering if any one out there has knowledge as to whether it was in fact a VIP ticket ?? as I have never seen a full ticket with this info,
I found an image of a 1923 similar raincheck which claimed to be A VIP ticket
I do not own the 1923 rain check
thanks for any input good, bad, or ugly

Hi David,
I believe that the answer to your question is yes.
It's immaterial that there were two rain out days to begin the season. The ticket/pass states that it will gain you admission to the 1st game of the year, which is technically the home opener.
