Validating/Dating Scorecards

[gonefishin]

Jerry I think you summed it up pretty good! I can tell it brings back fond memories for me - and that's what it should do.

I believe all my vintage scorecards are scored in pencil. If it was me, they definitely would have been in pencil.

I don't know for sure, but I can tell pretty easily if its faked (at least I think so). There are always a lot strike outs, penciled in players, mistakes, etc. There are a lot of indicators that lead one to believe when they are real.

My collection seems to just keep growing and I love flipping through the scorecard programs. I've been lucky to find some pretty cool ones

If it's scored, I can find the game from which it came. If it's from an exhibition game, that's pretty easy to validate. When its blank I struggle. If it's a vintage Yankees scorecard with Ruth and Gehrig in the lineup, but unscored, I would really like to know the date it was from!
