This is a very tough question. I have a ticket to the Dempsey-Gibbons fight in beautiful condition, but am not 100% sure it is unused. If I am correct in my understanding, a used ticket to this particular fight would have been exposed to a special light at the ticket gate which would make the word "Counterfeit" appear on the back. The word "Counterfeit" is not visible on the back of this ticket. Also, from what I have read, only the ringside seats to this fight had a stub attached to the main ticket. The remainder of the tickets only consisted of the main section with the "playing card" reverse (that has the hidden "counterfeit" word camouflaged).
I want to scan this ticket for the forum, but if any light from the scanner inadvertently reflects through to the back of this ticket, I fear it will make the word "counterfeit" become visible, severely devaluing the ticket.
Can anyone correct me if I am wrong on any of the above points? Thanks!
