Originally drafted 36th overall by the Hartford Whalers at the 1990 NHL Entry Draft after winning a Memorial Cup in 1989 as a member of the Swift Current Broncos, Geoff Sanderson would also add a Calder Cup championship to his rolodex in 1991 while playing with the Springfield Indians. Skating in a total of 1104 National Hockey League games over the course of his career that spanned seventeen (17) years, offered here is this photo and video-matched Buffalo Sabres jersey worn by Sanderson during the 1999 Stanley Cup Playoffs, including the Finals against the Dallas Stars. Made by CCM and featuring a pair of "Made in Canada" CCM labels plus a size "56" fly tag affixed to the inner collar, both the CCM and NHL shield logos have been embroidered into the reverse hem. Decorated over the front with a Sabres team crest that features embroidered and textured details throughout, matching alternate logo patches have been added over both shoulders while the all-important 1999 Stanley Cup Finals patch has been placed over the right breast. Accented over the sleeves and verso with Sanderson's number "80" in stacked tri-layer tackle twill numerals, "Sanderson" is spelt out in dual layer white-over-red tackle twill letters across the affixed matching nameplate across the top of the reverse. Exhibiting good game-wear, stick marks are found throughout the front, reverse and both sleeves while board burns are observed over the sleeves and right shoulder. Sporting additional wear via a small unrepaired hole over the lower front, coloured board paint transfers are seen over both sleeves and pilling is seen on the interior. Marked with "98-99 II" on the fight strap in black marker, the jersey is accompanied by a Sabres COA.
Regarding the previously mentioned photo and video-matches, the jersey is photo-matched with Getty Image #1069851620 (May 23rd, 1999 vs Toronto - Eastern Conference Finals Game 1) to the stick mark through the "8" of the left sleeve while a screenshot taken from Game 1 of the 1999 Stanley Cup Finals is matched to the same stick marks.
