Paul SAlan and Jeff,
Yes, thanks, that's the guy. And thanks for that link. I see that now that he's selling it off I have the option to own a part of it (once I sell the house and move into a shotgun shack.)
I sort of share his collecting sensibilites even if I can't share his income. I thought he was a pretty straight up guy, for a person in his position and as portrayed in the book, and his eventual disgust with the collecting racket is understandable. I can get why much of that stuff was stored in a separate locked room, but the idea that he couldn't display anything in his regular living space because his "guests" would rip him off really threw me.
