As if the world of collectibles didn’t already have enough sparkle, drama, and intrigue, Netflix has decided to double down on the glitter by announcing the return of its hit series, “King of Collectibles: The Goldin Touch,” for an exhilarating third season. Collectors, casual enthusiasts, and reality TV binge-watchers can unite in excitement knowing that the show, which pulls back the heavy velvet curtain on high-stakes memorabilia auctions, is gearing up to showcase even more of this riveting world. Buckle up, as Ken Goldin and his army of auctioneers are back in the spotlight, ready to whisk us away on another thrilling ride through bidding wars and jaw-dropping discoveries.
Since bursting onto the scene in 2023, the show has not only climbed the ranks to Netflix’s Top 10 list but also earned a nod from the prestigious Critics Choice Real TV Awards for Best Business Show. That’s quite the feat for a series that dives into a niche world, yet here we are—a testament to the magnetic pull of collectibles and the savvy maneuvering of the Goldin empire. While Netflix is playing coy with the specific release date, the mere promise of another season is already creating waves.
“It’s an electrifying period in the collectibles realm,” Ken Goldin enthusiastically shared, as he gears up to unleash another season packed with thrills and unprecedented finds. The industry, which is seeing vibrant growth thanks to burgeoning categories and interest from unexpected quarters, promises even more excitement, high-stakes showdowns, and, of course, those brief heart-stopping moments when the hammer finally comes down. “We are eager to bring these unbelievable stories and moments to a wider audience,” Goldin beamed.
Ready to captain this ship of collectible dreams once again is the production power trio of Wheelhouse’s Spoke Studios, Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions, and Connor Schell’s Full Day Productions, with an added boost from eBay. Goldin, having been snatched up by eBay in 2024, isn’t just nestling comfortably in the cozy niche of sports cards. Oh no, it’s flinging open the doors to vast new territories, especially after snapping up Studio Auctions, renowned for its depository of rare and iconic movie props. Talk about adding a little Hollywood flair to your auction list!
And why stop at movie magic? According to Card Ladder, Goldin’s spell in the collectibles sphere shows no signs of fizzling, accounting for a staggering $32 million in June alone from trading card sales. That’s part of a record $305 million rung up industry-wide in that single month. These numbers would make anyone’s eyes pop—perhaps even those less bedazzled by the hobby.
Of course, in true reality TV fashion, not all that glitters in the world of collectibles is coated in the sweet scent of success. Recently, a rather public sparring match between Goldin and Fanatics Live CEO Nick Bell spiced things up, soon after Bell took the audacious step of advertising Fanatics’ own collectible auctions on Ken Goldin’s hallowed Instagram page. Who needs on-screen antagonists when you have off-screen drama this sizzling? This spat only serves to highlight the increasingly cutthroat atmosphere in the collectibles market, a space where rivals dash for dominance like marathon runners after a succulent gold medal.
As fans dangle on tenterhooks awaiting the new season, the renewed attention on Ken Goldin, his legendary auction house, and the ever-evolving landscape of collectibles is a testament: the quest to collect never goes out of style. And nestled within these glittering treasures are stories of passion, drama, and cut-throat rivalries, painting a vivid portrait of an industry that is as thrillingly unpredictable as the items it trades. Ready your paddles, gather your nerve, and prepare for the ride of a lifetime. Netflix’s “King of Collectibles: The Goldin Touch” promises to outshine with its third season spectacle.
