I found a counterfeit ticket to Game 6 of the 1996 World Series (October 26, 1996) lying on the street in front of Stan's Sports Bar, across the street from Yankee Stadium, as the game was being played. (I didn't have a ticket to the game and wasn't planning to attend; I just wanted to be there and soak up the post-season atmosphere and excitement.)
My guess is that the ticket was discarded by the scalper who was unable to trick someone into buying it. Or, it could have been discarded by the poor soul who purchased it only to find the ticket was a fake.
The source ticket from which this was made was a ticket for Game 7. The numeral "6" has been pasted over the "7" in the "Game 6" references. (At the top of the ticket, the "EYSW7" stands for 'Event - Yankee Stadium - World Series 7.' Had this been a real Game 6 ticket, it would have said EYSW6.)
