Netflix's King of Collectibles to start new 'craze' and 'change lives forever'

Netflix viewers and fans of wheeling and dealing are in for a real treat by the latest reality series to hit the streaming giant.

King of Collectibles: The Goldin Touch is set to provide an inside look into one of the leading auction houses specialising in rare collectibles and the star of the show promises it will "start a collectible craze".

Owner Ken Goldin is well-known in the industry for hitting the big bucks with his rare finds, including flogging a LeBron James basketball card for almost $2million.

And now, for the first time, viewers get to see Ken and his colleagues in action as he tries to sniff out the next big find - and it's safe to say he does just that.

Netflix is anticipating the show to be an "upscale, high-powered version of Pawn Stars" the will grip the audience in the same way that other auction series have done.

And as the cameras roll for the six-part series, the action-packed show sees the main man chat to big hitters such as Mike Tyson, Logan Paul and Drake, while also offering huge sums - including a chance for a member of the public to bag close to $1million for his collectible!

Not only that, but Ken says there is also a whopping $10million find from the off which is set leave fans gasping at the value of certain items.

Speaking to The Mirror ahead of the show's launch on April 28, Ken said: "I think the show is going to set out a real collectible craze. A lot of people are going to go to parents' and grandparents' house and look through attics, garages, look through closets for anything they might have."

And he admitted the show is a real mix of celebrity high rollers with their rare collectibles as well as regular fans who have the chance to swap their items and make a life changing amount of cash.

"We also have scenes in there where normal people find something that's worth over $100,000," he confessed. "In one case, one little kid found something that was worth close to a million dollars and it changes their family's life forever."

The intense trailer for the show showed off huge finds such as the original Apple One computer and a Jackie Robinson jersey, but Ken promises fans will be stunned with so many more of the items on show.

While he kept a lot of the juicy finds close to his chest prior to the show's release - including a scene involving an item to do with footballing icon Lionel Messi - he admitted there will be something for everyone.

"There's soccer, there's tennis, there's boxing, baseball, football, basketball and also trading card games like Pokemon. There's comic books, rock 'n' roll memorabilia, pop culture, historical music memorabilia entertainment, so on and so forth.

"So in every episode there is something that everyone's gonna say 'oh, we used to own that,' or 'oh, that was so valuable. Oh, that is the coolest thing in the world'."

Ken admitted it's the first time he will ever let people see the magic that happens behind the scenes, from cutting deals to making offer, but he reveals the outcome isn't always one that makes him come out smelling of roses.

"We can't discuss any, but yeah, there are definitely some big misses unfortunately," he confessed.

And he says that is absolutely fine by him as the show is about him and how his business runs day-to-day. "Everything doesn't go as planned," he added.

However, the warts-and-all documentary will show Ken in full flow and living up to his slogan in which he says he is "motivated by competition, ego and money".
