....or buy it, if cheap enough, as a placeholder until you find one that's dated.
I don't think PSA would slab that, but who knows, they'd slab a Walmart receipt if it made them money. Scott might now better, and may chime in.

These are likely replacement tickets for lost tickets, perhaps from a season ticket holder.
When I worked for a MLB team they would issue replacement tickets to season ticket holders who lost their tickets. If the original tickets showed up which was usually someone who bought them off the street, the holder of the originals would be shown the door or encouraged to purchase another ticket as they had no rights to that seat for that game.

And, I like that ticket, too. Good day for the Mets, with 2 wins vs the Expos. I would be happy to find something like that in a scored program, and would prefer it to a printed ticket. But, I don't buy things for their resale value, so my tastes are different than some collectors. Last edited by doug.goodman; 05-04-2021 at 01:48 PM.

I recall going to games at Shea where the genius friend I was with discovered that if you didn't like your seat you could go to a window somewhere and exchange your ticket for an equally priced seat in another section. Pointless, but I remember one game where we moved like 3 times. Pretty sure they gave you something with handwriting on it as your replacement ticket.

I went to a game at Shea in 1983 or 84. It had rained hard before game time and the section above was leaking down on our seats. Saturday day game so pretty packed, I asked Usher for some help, He asked us to be patient and he would get back to us before game started. A couple outs into first inning He comes back apologizes and sits us right behind home plate 4 rows up. And he had a pad that he filled our old and new seats on and handed them to us. Last time I had a handwritten ticket at shea. I will try and post..
Now Shea was a leaky old girl and a number of other patrons complained and were neither polite or patient with the usher. They sat with program over their heads as umbrella. J

I bought a bunch of programs a few years ago that had belonged to a sportswriter, most of the Mets games had handwritten passes like this one :

Nice Doug... The Star Ledger was the morning paper for north Jersey...back when folks read papers. And Ike was covered lots of Baseball as well as other sports. And he did a fine job of it. Whoever got his press passes got a treasure trove.. Yankees Dodgers Giants Mets, Giants Jets, Knicks Nets.. Cosmos..
They had a circulation over a million a day. So his Star Ledger credentials pulled some respect as did his reputation.

All of the programs I got were very well scored, and included not only his pass, but also clipping from his stories of the game.
I think I have 2 dozen of his programs with passes, 19 Mets games, 4 Yankees games and (weirdly) 1 game with the Giants visiting Dodger Stadium.
