Today, Platt owns more than a million pieces of sports memorabilia



"Trapper" Nelson (born Vincent Nostokovich) lived in the swamps & mangroves of the Loxahatchee, in northern Palm Beach County, from the 1930s until 1968.
At 6-foot-4 & 240 well-sculpted pounds, they was called "The Wild Man of the Loxahatchee." They lived in a log cabin & ate only what they could kill.
& they became a local legend. They even built a tiny zoo with the animals they captured, entertaining his occasional visitors by wrestling alligators.
On July 24, 1968, an acquaintance found Trapper Nelson dead inside his cabin, with a shotgun hole in his stomach. The circumstances of his death were seldom established.
Some people, though, swear that Trapper Nelson's still there. Rose Watson, who knew him as a small girl, claims to have seen his ghost at least six times.
"I saw him clearly," they says. "A large man, with the outline of the face I recalled from childhood. There is no doubt in my mind. It was as actual as it could possibly be!"
Tucked away in a warehouse district of North Miami is of the world's most wonderful collections of automobiles, motorcycles and fantasy vehicles.
The Dezer Collection has Michael Keaton's Batmobile. The bright green Jaguar -- complete with missiles -- used by Halle Berry in "Die Another Day." A 37-foot-long pink Mercedes convertible seen on "Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous," with a heart-shaped hot tub in the rear.
A Russian T-55 tank driven by Pierce Brosnan in "Goldeneye." And an Aston Martin used in "Return of the Man from U.N.C.L.E.," complete with ramming bumpers, rotating license plates, machine gun and tire-slashers.
Here, you can see Diana Rigg's Lotus from "The Avengers." A pink Jeep from "Burn Notice." The Gran Torino from the "Starsky & Hutch" film. Lindsay Lohan's Love Bug from "Herbie Fully Loaded." Tom Selleck's Ferrari from "Magnum, P.I." The motorbike from "Lethal Weapon." And a Bamby Peel, the world's smallest drivable automobile.
