Cue the triumphant fanfare and dust off that mint-condition rookie card, because “King of Collectibles: The Goldin Touch” is set to make a grand return on Netflix for a much-anticipated third season. Devotees of the glitzy and often cutthroat world of collectibles have been granted another exciting installment of the series that peels back the velvet curtain on a universe where nostalgia meets business acumen. Serving as your trusted guide once again, Ken Goldin, along with his formidable auction house, is back on screen as the collectibles empire expands its reign.
From its debut in 2023, “King of Collectibles” hit the ground running, quickly embedding itself in Netflix’s Top 10 and even earning a coveted nomination for the Critics Choice Real TV Awards in the Best Business Show category. While Netflix has yet to announce the official release date for the new season, the mere mention of its return has the collector community buzzing like they’ve discovered a misprint card tucked in a booster pack.
Ken Goldin himself, the man of the hour and the gold-dust-sprinkled kingpin of the collectibles realm, couldn’t contain his enthusiasm. “We’re ecstatic to return,” Ken declared, brimming with excitement like a kid in a candy store—or in this case, a rarities auction. “It’s a dynamic time for the collectibles realm, with fresh categories bubbling up, stakes reaching sky-high levels, and interest arriving from the four corners of the globe. We relish the chance to share these mesmerizing stories and phenomenal moments with an ever-expanding audience.”
This new season proudly carries the banner of a star-studded production dream team, including Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions, the inventive minds at Wheelhouse’s Spoke Studios, and the deft creatives behind Connor Schell’s Full Day Productions. Each entity contributes to weaving the riveting tapestry of the series in partnership with eBay. Yes, the very eBay that acquired Goldin in 2024, broadening the brand’s horizons beyond its sports card prowess to embrace pop culture memorabilia. This venture took a further twist when Goldin recently annexed Studio Auctions, a treasure trove renowned for its rare movie keepsakes.
Cast your curious gaze towards data compiled by Card Ladder, and it becomes clear: Goldin continues to strut at the forefront of the collectibles stage, orchestrating over $32 million in trading card sales in June alone—a striking piece of a record-shattering $305 million industry revenue puzzle for that month. Truly, Goldin is playing the collectibles game not just like chess, but perhaps like three-dimensional chess, standing tall with pieces strategically placed on this richly detailed board.
However, any deep dive into the collectibles sphere wouldn’t carry its authentic weight without a fair share of behind-the-scenes escapades and eyebrow-raising drama. Recently, Ken Goldin’s enterprise featured in a delicious slice of industry intrigue when Fanatics Live CEO Nick Bell attempted a high-profile cameo on Goldin’s arena—also known as Ken Goldin’s Instagram. Bell made an audacious play, promoting Fanatics’ auctions in what can only be described as a not-so-sneaky bid for attention. Needless to say, this uninvited promotion did not sit well, paving the way for a fresh chapter in the double-twist, high-drama chronicles of collectibles rivalry. The brewing tension between Goldin and Fanatics accentuates just how heated—and high-stakes—the collectibles battleground has become.
So, while eager aficionados await further details on the upcoming season of “King of Collectibles: The Goldin Touch,” the spotlight is firmly fixed on Goldin, his ever-ambitious auction house, and the thrillingly volatile expansion of the collectibles sector. Beyond the glittering allure of memorabilia and magnificent finds, the series continues to tell a compelling tale—where competition is fierce, stakes are colossal, and the narrative is nothing short of electrifying. Indeed, the collectibles industry is sizzling with a fevered intensity—and Netflix holds the key to the showcase everyone wants a ticket to this third season. Get ready for more thrills, spills, and unexpectedly poignant stories, squeezed from the pages of history into our ever-modern world.
