No, that wasn't me. I certainly don't have a room with glass cabinets, etc--but I did see the photos from the person you are referring to--an amazing and very museum-like collection--total envy for that!!
The issue of 'afford' is a bit complex. 'Afford' has many meanings--such as putting things on credit cards and hoping somehow you can eventually pay for the stuff you bought--lol.
Anyway, regarding my own waaaay more modest collection, the most expensive item I have is the sketch by Dennis Tompkins that I got at the Julien's auction that Michael Bush had--where Lady Gaga bought the iconic costumes. I did not want to pay over $1K for anything but I kept being outbid so I realized if I wanted anything at all, I had to raise my bid.
I am really glad I went for it now b/c I enjoy looking at the sketch a lot and it makes me feel good. Some of the things, like the 'MJ for President' poster, were inexpensive--it was $20.
