Photo-Match: The conclusive match has been uploaded to the photos in listing.

1994-95 Ron Francis Pittsburgh Penguins game worn jersey is photo-matched to his 2014-15 O-Pee-Chee Stickers card. CCM collar tag has "10 A" written in black Sharpie (uniform number, and Assistant Captain), next to which is a size 54 tag. Home white top has Penguins chevron crest across the chest, with "A" on left breast, number 10 on sleeves and back, and name on plate above the rear number, all in black-on-yellow tackle twill. One of the nicest Francis jerseys we have seen, this is hammered with use including pilling, stick marks, burns, paint transfers, and cuts. Often overshadowed by the likes of legendary teammates Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr, Francis was a Hall of Fame contributor in his own right while playing for two Stanley Cup Championship teams. In the lockout-shortened '94-95 season in which this was worn, Francis led the NHL in assists with 48 (in 44 games), while also earning the Selke Award as the league's top defensive forward. His 1,249 assists (more than a few to Lemieux and Jagr) over 23 NHL seasons currently ranks 2nd in league history (behind only Wayne Gretzky's astounding total of 1,963).
