Since the program was not for that particular game, but rather a 3 game series, is it ethical to state it's attached to the milestone game? Thinking of programs that have their internal scorecards blank rather then filled out at the time of the specific game.
Not sure what the industry norm is, so would like to know your feedback.

Conflating the value of an unscored program because it *could* be attached to an event is a bit weird. I usually just roll my eyes when I see a 48 World Series Indians program with "Doby HR" in the listing title and it's not scored. That feels a bit grifty to me but everyone has different threshold for that sort of thing.
That's all personal feelings though.
There is no industry standard and you can do what you want. If tying it to the series is the best you can do,just list it as such.
