[suspenseful music playing]
[Ken] I gotta be honest.
I walked through those doors, and I saw what you have here.
You know, I said, "I've got to capture this magic."
This is something, um, that's got to be part of Goldin.
And I know you weren't prepared for this, but I would like to acquire Studio.
Well, you know… [sighs] Ken, I…
I respect you.
But you're not the first person to have come, uh, to me
and asked about buying, uh, Studio Auctions.
We're only two years out,
and I never really thought about selling the business.
I've watched your exponential growth. It's been incredible.
You have a great reputation. You have the show.
But to sell it so quickly… It would have to be a pretty incredible offer.
And I'd have to have a good feeling about what you would be doing
with the company and the business, to be honest with you,
if I were to consider letting it go.
[dramatic music playing]
My vision is to grow Goldin
into one day becoming a billion-dollar business.
One of the biggest trends in collectibles
are movie memorabilia, Hollywood props, and entertainment.
Studio Auctions is perfect for me,
but Brad's a savvy businessman.
And the guy's also a transactional attorney.
I don't know what's gonna happen, but we need this deal.
You can say, "Hey, do I want to be a small fish in a giant pond
or do I want to be the killer whale in the ocean?"
Studio Auctions and Goldin could be the killer whale.
We can dominate.
This is my baby. So much passion about collecting.
I've sacrificed so much, put my heart and soul into this.
I'm very proud of it.

-[Dave] Oh. No, no. -[Katie] Ooh. Ew.
[Carlo] We battle through injuries here, right?
[Dave] You're right. But Ry is a special guy.
Oh, you're gonna like this one. Ooh! A little Cooper Flagg Superfractor.
-A Cooper Flagg Super. That is sick. -[Dave] Ooh. That's a nice-looking card.
-That's perfect for The National. -[Ryan] Really awesome.
The National Convention is The National Sports Collectors Convention.
It happens once a year and honestly, it's not even national anymore.
It is international.
It's basically our Super Bowl of collectibles.
What do you think? Value probably like… Dude, we sold one for like $84,000.
-[Carlo] We got 85K. -[Ryan] So this could…
$84,500, it was Mike and Simon, so I know it very well.
-[Ryan] I think this could push that. -Ooh! This thing is sick.
[Ryan] I think 60K-plus for sure.
[Carlo] Hundred percent. Number one pick coming to Dallas? I mean, come on.
The National is the biggest show in the world. Happens once a year.
And it's huge for Goldin.
There's a lot of pressure on us to produce.
-[Carlo] Great first box, dude. -And these are… these are really taped up.
[Dave] You might need gloves, Krups, when you open these.
Look at that. That's, uh… That is something there.
-[Carlo] It's a speed bag. -That's a speed bag.
I'm gonna guess you have Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier.
[Ryan] This is way before my time.
I don't have gloves, but I'll… I'll identify some signatures.
[Ryan] Give me some signatures here.
All right, loaded up with names here.
-[colleagues laughing] -Floyd…
Floyd Patterson's on there.
There's Joe Frazier. I picked the Joe Frazier. Smokin' Joe.
-That's cool. -[Ryan] Fung, you brought that one in?

[Ken] How are we doing? Thanasis, great to see you.
-Hey, how are you doing, Ken? How are you? -I'm… I'm doing good. How about yourself?
Good. Just working out, man. Just, you know, on the grind.
[Ken] Thanasis Antetokounmpo is a current member of the Milwaukee Bucks.
He's also the host of Thanalysis,
one of the fastest-growing and most popular basketball podcasts out there.
I'm saying when you play, you're… you're locked in, you're zeroed in.
Do you know what The National Sports Collectors Convention is?
Uh, I've heard a bit about it.
So it's a really big collectors' event. Everybody's there. Everybody exhibits.
I wanted to conduct a panel, you know, on eBay Live,
which goes out all over the world.
And not just you, but the whole family.
-Everybody's gonna get equal billing. -[laughs]
[upbeat music playing]
There are five Antetokounmpo brothers.
Four of them play professional basketball.
The most well-known is Giannis.
NBA champion, two-time Most Valuable Player,
and probably the best player in the NBA today.
Thanasis is the oldest, also a current NBA player.
You've got Kostas, who was the first to win an NBA championship with the Lakers
back in 2020.
And you've got Alex, who is the youngest,
who also plays professional basketball in Greece.
Tell Giannis that I'm gonna bring,
you know, some special cards
because he hits me up all the time for cards.
One of the things we're gonna exhibit in our booth is the actual backboard
that was used when the Bucks won the NBA championship
a few years ago with… with you and Giannis.
So I'm wondering, is there any shot
that you can come down and, uh, possibly sign it?
These brothers are bigger than basketball.
They transcend into pop culture.
If I can get the brothers on a live panel at the biggest convention of the year,
that'd be massive, and significant for Goldin.
So what do you think?
I think for me, the most important thing is that, uh…
If it's a family thing, we'll be there.
Thank you so much. It's… It's gonna be loads of fun.
I really look forward to seeing you. I look forward to seeing the family.
-You made my week. I appreciate it. -Oh, man… [laughs]
See you then.
-Thank you. Have a good one. See you soon. -[Ken] Have a good one to you.

And for us at Goldin, it's…
the influencer game is a really important game to get into.
And that also means acquiring the items they're famous for
to attract their audience.
So speaking of one-of-one items, I think this one would go crazy on Goldin.
Well, what… what… what's in it for us, selling the Boom Meter?
You already have a huge brand. Why not be bigger?

-Great to see you. -Good seeing you. Enjoy the show.
That's probably a $500,000 card.
That's crazy.
-[Ken] What's your name? -Evan.
-[Ken] Nice to meet you, Evan. -Hey, buddy. Handsome!
[Ken] It gets me so pumped up.
I walked into The National this year,

Oh, very nice. Oh my God. This is amazing. This is what I love.

-Of course. I'll always support that. -Pump it up.

[Ken] So for this eBay Live,
it's important for Goldin to flex our might
by bringing global superstars to the table.

[crowd counts along] three, two, one!
[cheering]
[excitedly] Chicago National, how are we doing right now?

[Aaron] Heck, yeah.
When we go live, we have not heard from Giannis and the Antetokounmpo brothers.
On the stage, please give it up for Ken Goldin!
-[crowd cheering] -[man] Thank you, Aaron.
-Ken, nice to be here with you. -Glad to be here.
Do you think they all came to see me and you or someone else?
-I think, uh, someone else. [laughs] -Okay, all right.
[Ken] This is bad. I… I'm just trying to stall to keep the show going.
So what's cool also is that while everybody's here,
there's people around the globe right now joining this eBay Live, right?
[Ken] I'm thinking to myself, "Was there a miscommunication with the schedule?"
We're dealing with a superstar family here, so anything is possible.
We got New York, we got California, Myrtle Beach.
I'm gonna be sweating this one out.
London, everybody's all over the globe watching this.

Alex,
Kostas,

-Finally, we meet in person. [laughs] -[Giannis] How you doing?
[Thanasis] Wow. What up? What up? What up? What up? What up?

Thanasis, congratulations. You made, uh, Team Greece. So that's…
-[Thanasis] Thank you, man. [laughs] -So that's gonna be amazing.
Giannis, 2020.
I sold a LeBron James card for $1.5 million.
That set the record for modern basketball cards.
And then
I sold your NT Logoman.
-One… One point eight. -One-- Oh, he knows it!
One point eight, which broke the record.
Giannis is a big collector. How many of your Logomen do you have?
-Uh, I cannot disclose that. [laughs] -[Ken] Okay. Okay.
-But you have at least one, right? Okay. -I might have more than one.
I think I have a couple.
[Ken] The great thing about the Thanasis, Giannis,
as well as the rest of the family, is they are collectors.
If you could have a piece of memorabilia from another athlete over the years,
what do you think you'd you want?
Maybe like a club from Tiger Woods.
That's a good one. Tiger's a GOAT.
-Michael Jordan, hands down. -Jordan. There you go.
-I thought I'd hear a little boxing. -Mike Tyson.
-That's Mike Tyson. [laughs] 100%. -[Ken] Okay.
What about Ali? Ali, I mean, talk about all-time GOATs, right?
Muhammad Ali for sure.
You know, we might as well announce right now
that early in 2026,
Goldin and the Antetokounmpos
will be having a charity auction
with 100% of the proceeds to benefit
the Charles Antetokounmpo Family Foundation.
-And we are very proud at Goldin… -Let's hear it for that!
-Thank you. -And…
[crowd cheering]
The brothers started the Charles Antetokounmpo Family Foundation
to benefit the underprivileged, and it's very important to them.
And, uh, I… I am very, very proud. Very, very proud of it.
So if I can help their charity and their family foundation,
I feel good, and they're really gonna appreciate it.
Enjoy the rest of The National.
Everybody, let's hear it for Kostas, Alex, Thanasis, and Giannis!
-[cheering] -[Thanasis] Thank you. Thank you.
[Ken] I killed an eBay Live in front of a thousand people.
I'm thrilled.
Hopefully, the team is working hard to get more consignments.
[hip-hop music playing]
Awesome, thank you.
Check this out. We're live at The National.
This is Gary Vee, and this is a Superfractor.
It's on Goldin Auctions right now. It's live.
What an honor to have this massive card on Goldin.
♪ Push! Nobody winning like us Nobody winning like us… ♪
-We got something really nice for you. -All right, all right.
-[Peter] What do you think? -Oh my gosh.
You gotta be kidding me, brother.
[Peter] This is the 1998 trophy.
[Ryan] Oh my gosh.
-With that illustration. -By the original artist.
[in awe] What?
Mitsuhiro Arita is one of the original artists of Pokémon.
He's actually illustrated over 600 of these cards.
[Ryan] Having this sketch on here is insane.
You put this on that auction format,
and this could go crazy to the right buyer. You know that.
It's true, but I also want to target the guys that are coming into the hobby
that you… they want to put something into their collection.
-Okay. -[Peter] This could be that part.
So I'm actually thinking private sale for this.
We could definitely do private sale.
The only downside of it, again, you're only targeting a few buyers.
Honestly, like, I think at an auction, like, I hate to do estimates,
but this could be a half-million-dollar card.
Maybe you shoot to that top, top tier right off the bat,
and if we don't get the offer we like,
then maybe we only offer to a few really select guys.
-And have a goal of 100. -Honestly, I'm down with that. Great plan.
Dude, you're my guy, bro. Let's go, brother.
-Thank you so much. -We'll take care of you.
-Awesome, man. -You're the man.
-[man] The buys look good? -Believe it.
We won't give it to him. He'll text him.
Hey, Dave. Hey. How's it going, buddy?
-[Dave] Brad, what are you doing here? -[Brad] Long time no see, huh?
[Dave] My man Brad is a big social media guy.
He's a former baseball drafted player.
He told me he has an authentic childhood jersey of Lionel Messi.
Anything connected to Messi is huge.
Lionel Messi is the biggest player worldwide
and the most collectible athlete right now outside of maybe Michael Jordan.
So this jersey right here is Messi's jersey.
Game-used, when he was 10.
[Dave] That thing is so tiny.
How the heck do you have a Messi jersey from when he was ten?
This was given to Messi's friend's grandfather by the coach of Grandoli.
[upbeat music playing]
Wow.
Grandoli is a soccer club for kids in Messi's hometown in Argentina,
and it's where he grew up playing soccer.
This is where Messi became Messi.
For this to have stayed in the coach's collection for decades,
this jersey could really, really set some records.
Unfortunately, grand… grandfather passed away,
and their kids entrusted this jersey with me.
[Dave] Couple things. I'm gonna have to authenticate that.
So the first thing I'm gonna need is a letter of provenance.
We're gonna have to tell that story.
Obviously, we're the place to go with this,
but is there a price expectation, a minimum value they're looking for?
Yeah, I think the family is, um, wanting to start at 25,000.
And they don't have any real expectations beyond that.
-Okay. -But we're hopeful.
[Dave] Look, I think 25,000 is more than fair, but…
-I think six figures-plus on this thing. -Whoa.
I think with Goldin, man,
I'd like to break the Messi record with that jersey.
Let's bring this to market.
-Let's do it, my man. -Let's go.
-Brad, great to see you, bro. -[Brad] You too.
-[Giaimo] Hey, hey! Nice to meet you. -Well, we say, "Hey, hey…"
[Giaimo] I like the hat.
[Ken] Okay, so here we go.
That is the very first Bulls jersey
ever worn by Michael Jordan as a professional player.
What does this go for?
-[Ken] Multimillions. -[Thanasis exclaims]
-[laughs] That's gonna be multimillions. -Oh my gosh.
[Ken] Okay, so Ali wore that robe
into The Fight of the Century.
-[Giannis] I want to see it. Yes. -He wants to see it.
[Ken] All these relationships with celebrities
and with the biggest athletes in the world
can really help me on my path to make Goldin a billion-dollar company.
We got to get a picture of this.
-Take a picture of me right now. -[Ken] Yeah. Here we go.
-Take a picture of me right now. -Move there…
-Pull out your phone. -[Giannis] I'll show my kids.
-Right. -[Giannis] Take a picture.
We're dealing with a really tight-knit family.
So for me, it's important that Goldin has a relationship
not just with Giannis,
but with the entire family.
[Ken] So this is the actual backboard
from your NBA championship that was used in the NBA Finals.
Wow. Wow, where do you… Where do you want me to sign this?
[Ken] Here at The National,
we reap the rewards of all the year's work.
Getting the Antetokounmpo family to show up in our booth,
sign the backboard, as well as hang out with us,
that's a Ken Goldin move.
We're gonna kill it for your family auction.
We're gonna… We're gonna raise… We're gonna raise a ton of money.
And I've got some personal stuff that I'm gonna put in there as well.
-[Giannis] I appreciate it. -So we'll do an amazing job.
-Thank you. Thank you. See you, guys. -Thank you so much.

[Fung] Wow, look at that.
-[Robbie Jr.] Gotta wear that to the club. -[laughs]
KG walks in with a $7 million Illustrator around his neck.
I gotta be honest, Ken, this is probably the coolest you've ever looked.
At Goldin, we're always raising the bar, and it inspires me.
Makes me wanna do more.
And it makes me want to be the guy wearing that one next time.
This is the card Logan Paul paid $5.275 million for.
The most valuable Pokémon card of all time.
This is gonna be the single biggest TCG auction
in the history of the industry.
We've got Logan's marketing firepower behind us.
And guess what?
I've got even bigger news for the company, long-term.
I've closed a deal to purchase Studio Auctions.
-Studio Auctions is now a Goldin company. -[Dave, excited] What? What? Let's go!
We've got Studio Auctions. We got Logan Paul's Illustrator.
We're part of eBay. The market's on fire.
This is huge for Goldin because every time we hit goals,
we set ourself up for even more success.
This launches us in a whole new category.
A ton of new opportunity for all of us here.
Looking forward to seeing what that next challenge is,
to have even higher goals, to continue to hit them,
and just continue on the same upward path until we're over a billion-dollar company.
Next year is the B-year. Billion dollars.
I am counting on all of you.
The past year has been an absolute whirlwind.
-Woo! -[laughing]

That's how you sell a corn snack!
Oh, there-- He's got the cigar!
-It's good. -[Carlo] No! Come on.
-Can I give you a hug? -[Amber] Of course.
[Ryan] Oh my gosh. That's so cool.
Are you kidding me? The one-of-one Iverson?
-Do I have a cool job or what? -[Carleigh] Yes!
-[Ken] Yes? -[R2-D2 beeping]
Do I have your dedication? Do I have your commitment?
-[Carlo] Of course. -Okay. I look forward to the future.
And if you think I'm done, you don't know Ken Goldin very well.
The King of Collectibles is just getting started,
and I'm never leaving this building.
