King of collectibles on netflix

72skywalker

Has anyone watched this show yet on Netflix. I thought Goldin has a bad reputation in the hobby. The shows makes them kinda look like clowns in my opinion. Interesting but they all look sleazy.

Watching it now. So far not interested in Beanie Babies or Pokemon, but it's better than most of the other shows on Netflix imo.

I watched about 15 minutes of the 1st episode. My takeaway is that everyone on the show is such a terrible actor that it's almost unwatchable. I can't imagine how bad the takes were that didn't make the final edit. It is not good.

It's on my watch list, but can't stop binge watching Ozark right now.
Plus I get more than my fill of Goldin with endless emails from PSA pushing them.

I watched all the episodes. It was just OK. After the first episode, I knew I'd be taking the rest with a grain of salt. You can tell a lot of it was staged (like most other "reality" shows) and the "acting" was awful, especially Ken Goldin's daughter. The parts I enjoyed were getting an inside look at their facilities and warehouse, the Steph Curry raw card going to PSA and the Lewis Hamilton 1/1 superfractor segment was also pretty cool. I was really rooting for the kids on each of those. The segment with Logan Paul in the last episode where they open a few boxes of 1st edition Pokemon was entertaining, even though I can't stand Logan Paul. Just another lesson on why unopened should stay sealed

I have only watched the first episode. I think Kenny comes off as pompous though.

I wonder how many of the people watching have any idea that they are watching the same "kenny" that don west was always screaming at?

I had the same exact thoughts as you. The only other thing that I didn't care for was that we never found out what some items sold (the beanie babies, Flair's robe, Tyson's trunks, etc.). I suppose I could look them up, but I'd rather find out on the show.

I remember those days. I still can't see him any other way than screaming on the phone to Don about the rarities of North Carolina Michael Jordan Rookie Cards. Ever since those days, I have viewed him as a total clown.

That dream team jersey display from Karl Malone was fantastic

My pics aren't the greatest but this was an pretty amazing collection from the Dream Team, it just sucks that it got broken up.
For those that haven't seen it, after games ended Mrs Malone would pick up these game used jerseys off the floor and keep them. Karl eventually added the sneakers from every player then had each one inscribe the jerseys and sneakers. That is his place where he had them displayed like musuem.
They're all currently at auction right now at Goldin's

Did The father and son who bought the beanie babies have their own card show like pawn stars a few years ago where people came
Into their shop? They look familiar.

I'm sorry but Goldin comes off in anything he does as awkward and a carnival barker. I am not a fan!

I remember them now. l can see that they did not use any of the money they received from that show for acting lessons.

Karl Malone should be happy with these results. https://www.espn.com/olympics/story/_/id/37734838/karl-malone-nets-5m-1992-dream-team-collection

I watched all of the episodes. I thought it was a good series. Anything that highlights card collecting is a plus in my book.

If the show gets brought back for a season 2, I hope that they showcase more card related items. I know that might be hard to do being a reality show of an auction house that offers so much noncard related items but they could layout 30-40 rare cards and just film it for us lol. Ken's always telling us that he's looking for the rarest most valuable stuff so let's see it.
