Anyone else watching this series on Netflix?

KING of COLLECTIBLES - The Goldin Touch

Series follows the auction house run by Ken Goldin.

I just started the first episode and I'm really enjoying this.

I thought this might be of interest to other members on this Forum.

Of course, you need to have a subscription to Netflix.

Watched the first one and not sure if I'll continue it. Just seems so fake and staged like pawn stars.

Thanks for posting. I just watched the first episode and loved it. Thought it was well done so I will continue with the series.

The production was done well
The format is not creative.
It is definitely following other reality show formats like a cross between Pawn Stars and American Pickers.
Especially with his daughter being a part of it to have the family banter
And of course the guest experts makes it really feel like the other shows
It is also like a like A large information to promote his business

Hard pass.

Ken will always remind me of his Shop at Home stuff. No personal bad experiences with him in any way...just not my cup of tea I suppose.

An emphatic +1.

I think I'll watch (again) the Ken Burns baseball documentary instead.

I watched all 6 episodes.
I didn't realize that I was just watching a show about Ken Goldin's massive ego.
I thought we would see more interaction on how they actually got the Jackie Robinson collectibles.
The last episode that had the massive collection in the attic was interesting but really wanted to see how they planned on actually selling it.
Every item that they were negotiating for came up with a 20% commission. I assume they meant the sellers commission. What seller in their right mind wouldn't discuss bringing the commission either way down or to zero for a key auction item?
I'll keep watching-because there isn't much on the tube these days.

^^^^^^^^ After watching all six, this is the post I most identify with ^^^^^^^^^^^

The last 2 minutes of Episode 6 pretty much say it all.... that man has an ego that knows no bounds. I suppose he deserves credit for building his "empire" but it's just not my cup of tea.

So much of the show was scripted/staged that it's hard to know what was real and what's not. At least they didn't feature Ty Cobb's dentures, and I give them credit for that!

Reminded me way too much of Pawn Stars. So staged and fake.
