About Mike Wilson

A collector for over 50 years, Mike is passionate about sports memorabilia and the stories attached to it. Certified by the Canadian Personal Property Appraiser’s Group (CPPAG) in January of 2021, he works with clients to not only establish the market value of individual items but uncover their historical significance. Though Mike’s specialty is hockey and the Toronto Maple Leafs, he and his team work across all major sports. In 2017 he sold the majority of his personal collection to the Canadian Museum of History, an unprecedented sale that involved negotiating values for one-of-a-kind items including the team’s Maple Leaf Gardens dressing room door – key pieces of Leafs history and part of the cultural fabric of Canada.

Mike remains closely tied to his beloved Maple Leafs as the Ultimate Leafs Fan, blogging about team history and hosting the Squid and the Ultimate Leafs Fan Podcast with former Leafs captain Rick “Squid” Vaive. He is the author of Inside the Room with the Ultimate Leafs Fan and The Ultimate Road Trip – the story of his quest to attend every Leafs game in a single season.
