"Thomas Cary&amp;#039;s Upper East Side apartment is a preppy paradise, meaning it&amp;#039;s timeless, if not eternal. John Perona&amp;#039;s El Morocco Family Album lies just steps from a Chipp madras blazer out of the 1960s. Cary started stockpiling coins and stamps as a youngster living outside Buffalo in the &amp;#039;70s, and over the past few decades he has amassed a vast array of what he calls &amp;quot;product,&amp;quot; including 21 Club jockey lamps and a leatherbound set of James Bond novels signed by Sean Connery. (He has 15,000 rare books stored off-site.) &amp;quot;I have this innate knowledge of what I&amp;#039;ve acquired,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;I can tell you when I bought each particular item and why.&amp;quot; Cary used to be a buyer for Brooks Brothers but now focuses on the Cary Collection, which he oversees out of his time machine of a one-bedroom apartment. (Companies like Kate Spade and Bergdorf Goodman are steady clients.) Despite Cary&amp;#039;s love of collecting, there isn&amp;#039;t anything with which he won&amp;#039;t part \u2014 for the right price.  thecarycollection.com  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
