King of Collectibles: The Goldin Touch is a brand new addition to Netflix which takes a look at the auction house of millionaire Ken Goldin.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ken and his team spend their lives hunting for all kinds of rare items and memorabilia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Netflix<\/a> show kicks off by explaining that some of the greatest collectibles in the world can be small, such as trading cards, but of great value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One piece of paper, Babe Ruth’s contract, is said to be worth enough to buy a jet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ken is “excited” by “the chase” and thrill of his job. He said: “Nothing makes me happier than telling normal folks that what they have in their hands is going to change their life forever.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Meet The King of Collectibles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ken Goldin is The King of Collectibles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He’s around 57 years old and began buying and selling cards in 1978, reports<\/a> Bloomberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ken runs Goldin Auctions, which is headquartered in New Jersey. He describes his company as “the world’s largest collectible marketplace.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on episode 1 of his Netflix show, he said that he is motivated by three things: “…competition, ego, and money.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 12 years old, Ken swapped his toy cars for a baseball card collection, reports<\/a> Money Week. Today his childhood hobby has evolved into a multi-million dollar business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
