I give Ken credit for growing a company from the old days 25 years ago on late night TV(literally 3-5 AM) when he was hyping Mantle and Dimaggio autographs and 1987 Topps wax boxes to his current windfall.
There are still deals to be had for collectors in most of his auctions and I assume there will continue to be. You just have to look harder if you are not a multi millionaire to find the underpriced collector gems. Star by searching by lowest priced items on the final auction day and when you reach your limit price wise, stop looking.
When all items in his auctions start bringing 5 figures and up, I will stop looking. Until then, I will look no matter who owns the company.
And I agree with a few others, good for him and I don't blame him one bit for taking a couple hundred million for his company.

An anonymous post praising Ken Goldin. I am not surprised.
