Hi folks, first timer here - thinking about purchasing a Doug Gilmour jersey off craigslist and I just wanted some informed opinions on here.
The seller claims the jersey is a "rare type" in that early in the 1992/93 season the leafs wore jersey's where the numbers "touched the stripe" on the arm (like the bottom of 93 touches the white stripe on the sleeve) - can anyone confirm that? I haven't seen any good pictures where this is true.
Furthermore, the seller did provide a picture of Gilmour where it does appear the number touches the stripe slightly although it wasn't conclusive enough because of the angle. However, on the jersey that he has, the bottom of the numbers noticeably overlap with the stripe somewhat. The only thing that's tempting about the jersey is that it's got the commemorative 100th stanley cup patch on it.
edit: nevermind, I've just verified that the numbers did in fact touch the jersey as claimed. Still not sure about his jersey though, as the numbers don't "touch" but overlap.

Also it doesn't have the "A" on it
