South Jersey Sports Collector Subject Of Upcoming Netflix Series

CAMDEN COUNTY, NJ — A Runnemede man who transformed his childhood pastime of collecting baseball cards into a billion-dollar enterprise when he grew up will star in an upcoming series on Netflix, phillyvoice.com reported.

The show, tentatively titled "The Goldin Touch," will follow sports and entertainment collector and founder of Goldin Auctions Ken Goldin, the report said.

The upcoming show will be translated into more than 40 languages, was created by the team behind History Channel's "Pawn Stars" and is being produced by former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning's Omaha Productions, according to phillyvoice.com Other show details are being kept under wraps for now, phillyvoice.com said.

Goldin started his own company — Goldin Auctions — in 2012 and has personally "sold over $1 billion dollars worth of trading cards, collectibles and memorabilia," according to the company's website.

The website has facilitated transactions such as the $3.9 million 2020 sale — one of the most expensive baseball cards in history — of Los Angeles Angels center fielder and Vineland native Mike Trout's rookie card as well as the $900,000 sale of the most expensive Pokemon card of all time, according to phillyvoice.com.

Although Goldin sold his business to a similar company — Collectors Holdings — for an undisclosed amount last year, he is still executive chairman and continues to operate Goldin Auctions independently under the larger company's umbrella, phillyvoice.com reported.

Goldin is no stranger to the cameras, as he hosts a weekly livestream on his Instagram account, phillyvoice said. Goldin has also appeared on Fox Business, CNBC, Bloomberg TV and ESPN, according to his company's website.
