King of Collectibles on Netflix

[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.

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.

Yes, I watched it. Honestly not bad. heavily scripted, but the items they have on the show are really cool.

Just finished watching. Meh, ok. Yes the attic scene was the highlight along with Karl Malone's collection both in ep 6. Also don't know why those Pokemon boxes are worth so much.

That attic Scene was one of the highlights.
I would love to see how they handle, process, appraise and auction all that.
Would love to have seen them do more negotiating like the terms of Seller Premium or points back etc.
Basically would love to see the more behind the scenes stuff

I would love to see that too.

At the same time, it’s hard to imagine a business owner promoting their business through a fancy documentary and showing the customers negotiating preferential rates and discounts on fees. Who wants to admit that their customers have that level of power, and to broadcast it for all the world to see?!!

Now, maybe if it makes him seem like a philanthropist who is out kissing babies and saving widows from burning buildings, then maybe you’ll see him making concessions…

But not because the customer has any power over it. Simply because he’s a scholar and a gentleman. Plus the world’s most magnanimous auctioneer.

But he isn't. When I ask my peers who they would use to auction their wares, Goldin isn't even in the top 5.
