Fans of reality TV and avid collectors have reason to rejoice as Netflix has announced the return of its hit series "King of Collectibles: The Goldin Touch" for a much-anticipated third season. The series, a delightful dive into the high-stakes world of collectibles and memorabilia auctions, is set to chronicle the life and times of Ken Goldin and his powerhouse auction house once more, at a time when the collectibles industry is reaching unprecedented heights.
This show is not just another fishing expedition into esoteric hobbies. Since its dazzling debut in 2023, "King of Collectibles" has managed to carve a niche for itself, landing squarely in Netflix’s coveted Top 10 list. It even snagged a Critics Choice Real TV Awards nomination for Best Business Show—a commendation that combines the adrenaline rush of auction proceedings with the strategy and acumen of high-stakes business dealings. Although Netflix has yet to set a specific release date for the new season, the anticipation is palpable, creating a buzz much like the excited chatter at a bustling auction hall.
Ken Goldin himself is no stranger to this excitement. "We are thrilled to be back," Goldin exclaimed, capturing the prevailing winds of change and expansion in the collectibles landscape. "It's an exciting time in the collectibles industry with new categories emerging, higher stakes and bids, and interest coming from everywhere. We love to share these incredible moments and stories with a wider audience."
Intriguingly, the show maintains its production pedigree with a continuation of partnerships that look as eclectic as some of the collectibles featured. Once again, Wheelhouse’s Spoke Studios, Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions, and Connor Schell’s Full Day Productions are at the helm, with eBay joining the fray as a partnered powerhouse behind the scenes. Goldin, the auction house at the heart of it all, was acquired by eBay in 2024, a move that expanded its horizons significantly, ushering the brand into realms far beyond traditional sports cards. Particularly dazzling is Goldin's recent acquisition of Studio Auctions, renowned for their rare movie props—a delightful treat for pop culture aficionados.
In the broader landscape, the numbers tell a story of booming success. According to Card Ladder, Goldin not only survives but thrives in the competitive collectibles market, boasting over $32 million in trading card sales as of June. This activity contributes substantially to the staggering $305 million in industry-wide sales that month alone, evidence of a thriving market breaking records left and right.
But what's a high-stakes industry without a touch of drama? Goldin recently found itself embroiled in a public dust-up with Fanatics Live CEO Nick Bell, who audaciously attempted to court potential clients on Ken Goldin's own Instagram turf. Bell's attempted coup didn’t exactly play as planned, adding a new layer of real-life rivalry to an already intense market. This public spat hints at the undercurrents of competitive fever running rampant through the industry, highlighting the fierce pursuit for a seat atop the collectibles hierarchy.
As fans eagerly await further details about the upcoming season, the renewed focus on Goldin, his dynamic auction house, and the ever-transforming collectibles industry reaffirm that the realm of collecting has never been more thrilling or more dramatic. LoginComponent into your Netflix queue now—"King of Collectibles" is the reality show equivalent of a supercharged auction, where bidders' dreams are made and broken in the blink of an eye. Whether you're a seasoned collector or a nostalgic hobbyist who fills your spare moments perusing eBay listings, there’s something spellbinding about witnessing fortunes change hands over pieces of history, artifacts, and memorabilia.
Clearly, the collecting craze is anything but a passing fad. With the renewed zest for collecting unique pieces from times gone by and the increasingly competitive market, this season promises to deliver enough excitement, high stakes, and perhaps a few shocking controversies to keep audiences binge-watching and buzzing. The allure of owning a piece of history, be it a relic of sports legend or a prop from a beloved film, continues unabated, and "King of Collectibles" is perfectly poised to capture that fascinating pursuit on screen yet again.
