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). |

Jimmy, it's an original ticket, no doubt, and in amazing condition. The problem being, if I scan it, the scanner light may permeate causing the word "counterfeit" to be permanently displayed on the back, ruining the value. I could snap a photo of it with no flash, but my digital camera doesn't present decent images of flat items because I can't zoom close enough without blurring the image. If I use the flash, it may permeate right through to the back and cause the "counterfeit" to show for all eternity? |

I've never heard of it before and I don't know of any technology that old for that purpose. The fight in question took place in the boonies; I doubt that they had multiple devices in hand to scan tickets and they certainly didn't have modern laser or blacklight wands. |
