Just had a quick question that I was hoping someone might know the answer:
I have a small collection of ticket stubs. One of them is the opening day stub for the Sf Giants/Mets game at Candlestick april 10th 1968..Marichal vs Seaver. Everywhere I check they list the date as April 10th 1968 but the stub says April 9 1968 with "OPENING DAY" written in caps on the stub. I know the stub is authentic as I went to the game and it's my stub. Anyone know the answer? I am guessing it was a misprint on the part of the ticket printer. Does this ad any value to the stub? thanks...

April 9, 1968 - Opening Day is postponed because of the funeral for the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., assassinated on April 4.
