A long-serving captain for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Mats Sundin is currently the Leafs' all-time leader in goals and points. Drafted first overall by the Quebec Nordiques in 1989, Sundin would also represent his native Sweden on numerous occasions throughout his career, winning an Olympic gold medal in 2006. Up for grabs here, we present this photo-matched Maple Leafs jersey worn by Sundin during the 1999 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Made by Nike and tagged a size “56”, Nike, "Center Ice Authentic Collection" and "NHL Player" labelling resides inside the inner collar while the emblems of both Nike and the NHL shield have been embroidered into the reverse hem. Decorated over the front of the jersey with a Maple Leafs team crest that has had "Toronto Maple Leafs" embroidered into it, matching alternate logo patches have been added atop of both shoulders while the Maple Leaf Gardens final season "Memories and Dreams" crest appears over the right breast. Featuring the distinguished captain's "C" over the left breast, the sleeves and verso have been styled with Sundin's number "13" in dual layer tackle twill numerals of blue outlined in white. Having had "Sundin" spelt out in single layer blue tackle twill letters across the affixed matching nameplate that is in place at the top of the reverse, the interior of the jersey retains its fight strap and shows a Maple Leafs team tag that has been sewn inside the reverse hem which denotes the piece as being a "1998-1999 Game Worn Playoff Set" example, matching what is stated on the accompanying Maple Leafs LOA. Displaying excellent game-wear throughout the entirety of the piece, stick marks are present over the front, reverse and both sleeves while good pilling is found on both the interior and exterior in the areas of the sleeves and hem. Showing additional battle scars via board burns and either blue or red coloured board paint transfers over both sleeves as well as the reverse hem and between the numbers on the reverse, the jersey has been photo-matched with Getty Image #1069850266 (May 23rd, 1999 vs Buffalo - Eastern Conference Finals Game 1) to the stick marks over the right sleeve.
