Sort of like King Richard III.

Could be a reference to Richard's ruthlessness.

Some Shakespearean scholars claim the original line in his first draft was actually, "My kingdom for a T206 common!!"

This. He is referring to his series on Netflix.

Ken has always been a very good promoter and it has served him well. Not my cup of tea but you can't knock his results. Props for selling his business at the top of the market.

25.5 million people have watched the show on Netflix . It’s been renewed for season 2 , which comes out shortly. Will be running for many years as it’s a profitable show for Netflix.
(as a quick hint, less of the ‘who cares’ stuff like beanie babies in season 2, more hardcore sports collectibles.)
From a goldin standpoint , over half of our registered bidders have registered with goldin AFTER April 28,2023, or meaning 11 months of Netflix has brought in more viewers than all the work I put in marketing goldin auctions from 2012-2023 (and I am an extensive marketer).
So when the marketing team sends out that email with the catchy title, they are appealing to the watchers of the show, as well as the people who may not watch but are aware.
I hope it amuses some of you, and annoys as few of you as possible.
Thanks
Ken

Is that why you guys had to increase your BP to 22% to help cover the cost of doubling the number of registered bidders on the site? Seems reasonable. I hope more auction houses follow your lead.

In the play, through trickery and depravity while posing as a devout and modest man, Richard makes himself King illegitimately. As part of the saga he has his nephew, the rightful king, murdered in the tower where a King was traditionally to stay before his coronation. Richard's reign is short, and he dies ingloriously, deserted by many of his followers on the field, begging for a horse.
I am determined to prove a villain,
And hate the idle pleasures of these days.
Plots I have laid, inductions dangerous,
By drunken prophecies, libels and dreams

I presume the literary illusion was to the dubious ethics and doubtful legitimacy of the self-proclaimed king's.

Yes he is. Like a modern day Mr. Mint.

I always tell people that you need to be your own biggest self promotor; because if you don't believe it and promote it yourself, it's a fact that no one else will.

Very true, and I have to imagine there are some people who see that as a positive.

Greg, spot on, if a bit over-the-top analogy by me. A couple of unpleasant incidents made me draw the comparison.

Richard III was also a hunchback, but I make no inferences by that fact. Just for the record.

As immortalized in the opening lines.

But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks,
Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass;
I, that am rudely stamp’d, and want love’s majesty
To strut before a wanton ambling nymph;

Ha, and they said reading dead poets and playwrights wouldn't do anything for me! I must say I find Shakespeare to be a more insightful writer than whoever wrote the poetry of Ken Goldin

Ken Goldin, Ken Goldin
Look at them cards that he holdin'

True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings
Kings it makes gods, and of meaner creatures kings
