Default 1929 Yankees Raincheck /ticket GOOD FOR FIRST GAME 1929 PLAYED

picked this up today a 1929 Yankee Stadium Raincheck from
what i was told , originally is the rain check part of a VIP ticket
issued to Rupperts friends business associates and dignitaries .
whats cool it has "Good only for the first game played Yankee Stadium Season 1929"
the first two home game were rained out, but this would still have been valid for the "First Game played" at Yankee Stadium 1929
whats great about this Game , Yankees First game of the 1929 season which happened to be played at Yankee Stadium ,
It was the The first ever Yankees team to wear uniform numbers in a regulation game. and Babe Ruth hit Career Home Run 471 - Home Opener and for the first time wearing number 3 , so possibly quite special I think

I found an image of a 1923 similar raincheck which claimed to be A VIP ticket
I do not own the 1923 rain check
I also added an image of a normal Yankees Raincheck which is almost the same size
thanks for any input good, bad, or ugly
David
