I’ve been around a lot of hockey people in my life—players, coaches, scouts, historians, broadcasters, and yes, collectors. But I’ve never seen anything quite like what I walked into the day I visited Mark Fera.
Tucked away just north of Toronto is what I’d confidently call the most complete Toronto Maple Leafs memorabilia collection in the world. Mark’s basement isn’t just a fan cave. It’s a museum, a sanctuary, a time machine. And every item comes with a story.
From a replica of Wendel Clark’s locker stall to a stick used by Bill Barilko, the place is layered in blue-and-white nostalgia. There are framed jerseys from every era, custom-built displays of game-used gear, old Gardens signage, even a Leafs-branded toilet.
And here’s the thing: it’s not about showing off.
Mark’s collection is a labor of love—a tribute to his late father, to the team he grew up worshipping, and to the legacy of Leaf legends who brought joy to generations of fans.
