Quarantine cleanup: What is the year for this Delta boarding pass?

Found this old boarding pass & can't remember when this trip occurred. Does the ACS sticker mean it was the first leg of an international trip? Any help identifying the year would be most appreciated.

BTS data goes back to 1987; I found the flight number in 1995,96,97,98,99 ... there may be other years too

I found one that looks just like this, and based on the destination and my life at the time, I knew it was from the late-90s. Maybe 1997 or 1998.

I think mine also had the ACS sticker but it was not an Intl itinerary.

I have ones of these from an L1011 flight SFO-ATL from 1998, also with an ACS sticker (yellow)

It is scary how much some people here know about DL. Being able to date a boarding pass - or even try is impressive.

I’ve posted about this in a few other threads, but I have BPs (and, until about 5 years ago, ticket envelopes) for ~2500 commercial flights dating back to 1971, and a log that includes the tail number of each aircraft and a bunch of other cumulative data (it’s mainly an Excel spreadsheet; I haven’t updated the paper version in a couple years, but that could be a quarantine project)

I have digitized my total collection of on-board flight announcements 80's-90's for many major world airlines. The crew often identify themselves by name.

The most noteworthy was a PA Capt Bama announcing he blew an engine and was going back to JFK after dumping fuel (listed by date and flight number)

Huzzah! Thank you all for the quick replies!

This was from 1997 when I flew out to Las Vegas to catch U2's first night on the POPmart tour.

Northwest actually included the year on their BPs (PARS functionality), which was a massive help when I started to catalogue my shoebox full of BPs. KLM, Korean, Air Tran, JetStar & a few others do this too.

AFAIK, nothing in SABRE prints the year, so anything from legacy AA/USAir/Midwest Express won't have it. Better have a good AvGeek memory!
