King of Collectibles on Netflix

[Joshwesley]

I stated wirh episode 6 and enjoyed it

I’ll keep watching ……. Hope we see some sports cards in some other episodes

[mrreality68]

I am watching it and almost finished because I am a sucker for those kind of shows.
It is amazing the stars he knows and the "investors" like Peyton Manning that is an investor in his company

[skelly423]

I'll hold back on most of my opinion, but will say Ken's not my cup of tea, and I'm not interested in watching any of this vanity project.

It's pretty awful with how they comp raw cards at PSA 10 prices, overvalue $10 beanie babies, and rewrite history with low-comping the "$5 million" LeBron triple logoman once it only sold for $2.4 million. Not to mention how they don't even mention that PSA is owned by the same parent company; that would be a conflict of interest.

Nothing more than an infomercial.

I'm a sucker for anything in print or can be watched related to the hobby.. Always loved the Mr. Mint books/interviews...

[Kutcher55]

I watched it. It was decent enough, not creative in the least bit, but I enjoy the topic. It’s cool to see what people collect, particularly some of the technology artifacts that appear on the show (Apple etc). In many ways I found that stuff more interesting than the parade of PSA graded new crap and pokey man junk. Love him or hate him, Goldin has a magnetic personality although I don’t blame anyone who finds the whole schtick offputting.

I’m gonna choose not to playa hate on this one. The guy has built a great business. He’s a self promoter and you gotta think this series is awesome for his brand and empire.

[Buythatcard]

I agree that show was Ken Goldin promoting himself. I did love seeing all the memorabilia that people have to sell.
My favorite was the guy who had a massive card collection stored in his attic. I assume Season 2 will show us what he actually has and what it's worth.

Believe he sold for hundreds of millions to psa. Hes nothing more than a paid shill stuffed shirt for them I'm guessing .

Hate away since he robbed most of our parents and grandparents in the 80s and thousands of people left the hobby because of him.

Like the guys above me, I recommend "Chasing Cardboard" on YouTube.

Yep. It was announced in late 21/early 22. I knew the market was going down and fast. And it has.

[Exhibitman]

Collectors here have successfully predicted nine of the last five market tops.

I binged the show while doing chores yesterday. I pretty much agree with the observations here. It was a standard formula reality tv show with reveals and fake suspense, a telegenic young cast (Dave Amerman was on some of those reality hookup shows back in the 'aughts) who spend way too much time on personal grooming products, and silly pricing. Of course it was a PR blitz for Goldin, so none of the ugly elements of the AH business were on display. You can also tell that they put in three women who really don't have much of a role just to avoid it being a card bro sausage party.

I am considering filing a class action against them on behalf of all the average-looking, unkempt fat guys who are the real hobby professionals; we deserve some tv time too. My lead plaintiff:

[irishdenny]

The endin' of the 1st episode made me quite disturbed on how the situation turned inta the "Catch Fish" philosophy. When I consign a piece of High Dollar amount, my business side wil be respected!

*This is jus a repeat of Mr Mastro's 101.0

Not respectin' the consigner after agreed terms, with the Beginnin' Philosophy of "Jus Don't Come Back wit out the Jersey!", is a Shameful way to treat someone!

Mr Goldin is respected in this industry because his light hasn't shined on his fishin' technique's as of yet!

I've been in the same position a few times wit Mr. Maestro as he conducted to manipulate the Consigner inta his web of "I know, You don't!" proper gander speech...

10 Million was the deal... abusin' the consigner(publicly none the less!) is right out of Mastro's play book!!!

Couldn't have said it better myself. My wife even pointed out the show this weekend and it was a hard pass for me.

Me too...fake...scripted...sure...but as a collector it's entertaining.

New drinking game...drink whenever someone says "let's goooo!"

I'd be under the table by the first commercial!!!!

I enjoyed the part when the guy cut the Buyer Premium in half after the auction on the Steph rookie out of the goodness of his heart.

[Jay Wolt]

I cringed when the Goldin worker flipped through the signed Madonna book & she had her hand resting on the signature

[gonefishin]

My apologies as I started the same topic under the Water Cooler section.

It was interesting when I received the announcement e mail from PSA, and I quote, "It's finally here. Watch our show." The email also had the PSA and Golden logo above the photo on the announcement.

Not to make a big deal out of it, maybe I've missed something, but has PSA officially merged with Golden or is all this just collaboration for publicity and money?

I've watched all 6 episodes and enjoyed them. We are very limited when it comes to card collecting shows on syndicated tv and I watch just about any show that features card collecting.

Gentleman Jim certainly had quite the game used jersey collection. I've thought about his collection and where he has it, etc. and compared it with Carl Malone and where he had his Dream Team game jersey's. Both were absolutely amazing and significant. However, the bottom line was it came down to money as it always does.

I think my favorite part of all episodes was the gentleman in the last scenario that had his card collection in the attic - crazy stuff. Of course they were leaving and a little upset for "wasting their valuable time", until he took them to the attic - classic stuff!

!

Both PSA and Goldin are part of the same corporation. Been that way for a couple of years now

Do you think he would have done that if there were no cameras on him as the auction closed? He met the consignors number and still gave him a discount.

I felt bad for that kid who had no idea that you can negotiate the juice. They weren't even going to give him any of the BP on a 170k card. Crazy
