Mickey Mantle Last HR Stub

This ticket is so rare that the Value is based on ticket sales that were fraudulently dated with a Red Rubber stamp. One such ticket stamped with the date, Sept. 20, 1968, Game No. 60, sold for $1,200. (the Series "A" Ticket is actually from 1967) First, the Yankees did not stamp the date on Grandstand or Bleacher ticket stubs. I assure you, the ticket sellers did not stamp 15,737 tickets, the Paid attendance for that game. Second, Game No. 60, as the $1,200. fraudulent ticket is from was played on Aug. 4. Mickey Mantle Hit his last Home Run on Sept. 20. To put it in perspective, Game 77 was played on Sept. 19, so the game No. 60 ticket is off by 1 year, 17 games.

If you search for a Sept. 20, 1968 Mickey Mantle Last Career Home Run 536 Last Career RBI 1,509 ticket Stub, you will not find a dated ticket. Here is why. It doesn't exist....

Game No. 57, scheduled to be played on July 24, 1968, vs Boston was rained out. The Game was rescheduled for Sept. 20, 1968, an off day. When a game is rained out the Rain Check for that game No. is voided and is to be presented at the ticket widow in exchange for a future game of your choice. Most of the time a "Make Up Game" is added to another scheduled game and played as a double header. The scheduled game No. is used for admittance to both games.

Since 1923 when a Rainout Game is rescheduled on an off day the Yankees used a ticket that featured a Letter as the Game No. (these tickets were printed before the season started, for use when needed) Sept. 20 being an off day, Game No. "P" was designated for this game. This was the only game in 1968 made up on an off day.

The ticket stub above was Photoshopped to look nice on the website, but there is one on ebay at a great price. Check it out. (pictured Below) So Rare it might be the only Real one you will ever see.
