Not knowing what the purpose of that ticket was, I'll offer a guess that
there may have been a spot after the "I AM" in which you'd typically
fill in your name or more usually, your amateur radio callsign; as this
would be the way we'd identify ourselves to each other. That ticket
would often be put into a drum for door prizes etc. (generic numbered
tickets are also typcially used)

I went to a hamfest (an electronics swap** meet) last sunday, a week
ago, and the ticket had on it "I AM" with no serifs on the letters. I
asked a guy at the table with those running the thing if it said "One
A.M." or "I am". He said it meant I am. I said, what does that mean,
and he said it meant "You are".

Does anyone have an idea what it really meant?

**Although swapping is rare and most of it is buying and selling for
cash.
