Perhaps I am not the only one who hadn’t heard about this man’s amazing collection of sports memorabilia?

Youtube has a couple of interview segments on him and his collecting. Just search under Joel Platt. Pretty darn impressive.

Visited his place couple years ago when visiting my parents in Florida. Only a small portion is on display but still great to look at and hear about his collection.

Was it just me?
or did the "article" sound as much like an advertisement for "collectable" fractional ownership as it did about the Platt collection. History also sounds A LOT like Barry Halper. Incredible stuff!!

I was getting that same vibe also. Maybe he was more discriminating then Halper about the stories he accepted, and I'm sure most of what he has is good, but I wonder in collections like these, how many of these too good to be true memorabilia items are just that. Accepted stories passed down 2nd, 3rd, and 4th hand. Either way, Impressive as hell. I'm pretty sure I've heard of this guy before, as it looks like he's dabbled in boxing for a bit. I think there was even a major auction of graded boxing cards years ago that was identified on the flips as being from "The Platt Collection", if my memory serves me correctly.

I like this one:
featuring a ball signed in 1939 by the first class inducted in the Baseball Hall of fame, including Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Christy Mathewson Honus Wagner. Pretty sure Christy wasn't there in 1939.

It's an astonishing collection. Hats off to him. What has me wondering is exactly what a young Joel Platt or a young Barry Halper said to the families of sports legends to persuade the families to give them some of these items.
"Hello, Mrs. Wagner, you don't know me, but I'm a teenage collector of sports memorabilia, and even though I'm too young to have seen your late husband play, I would really, really, love for you to give me some of his game used equipment, trophies, and uniforms. " "Sure thing, young man, here are some of family heirlooms. Can I help you get them into your car? Or would you prefer to take our car?"
