The only way one could tell if a program was from Game 3 and not Game 4 would be if the fan kept the scorecard. In your experience are these ever filled in later on to make the program more valuable? I suppose it could be done but even pencil writing (which most seem to be scored in) would have to show some age after 80 years, right? Thanks for your help!

Ben,
Yes, if a person had a mind to do it, a blank, unscored scorecard could be filled in after the fact with pencil to make it appear that it was scored.
Hobby resource sites now exist where the entire play by play of Ruth's called shot in WS Game # 3 1932 are absolutely available.
Now the question of whether he actually called his shot is another matter altogether...
