Reggie Jackson classic car, Barry Bonds collectibles highlight new ‘King of Collectibles’ auction at Goldin
In Season 2 of “King of Collectibles,” Ken Goldin visits Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson at his man cave and museum in San Francisco.
Jackson, who has an impressive memorabilia collection, shows Goldin all sorts of hobby treasures, from game-used bats, World Series rings, a game-used Willie Mays glove, and a bat used by Jackie Robinson in 1949.
Then Jackson takes Goldin into another area of his man cave—a garage that houses several classic cars, including a custom 1967 Corvette, a 1969 Camaro, and a fully-loaded 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442.
Jackson winds up consigning some of his baseball memorabilia and the 1970 Cutlass to Goldin and his Goldin Co. auction house.
“It’s hard to give up the items you collect and put aside because of the memories and what it took to get them,” Jackson says in Episode 6 of the show. “It’s a triumph through life, but at the same time, sometimes you have to get rid of some of this.”
“When I flew out here, I never imagined I would be walking away with one of his classic cars, which opens up a whole new world of classic cars for Goldin,” Ken Goldin says in the show.
Jackson’s memorabilia and collectibles are part of a new Goldin auction highlighted by items featured in Season 2 of the popular Netflix docuseries “King of Collectibles: The Goldin Touch.” The auction, which runs through July 13, also features items from the collection of former MLB star Barry Bonds, who also stars in the Emmy-nominated show.
Season 2 of the show, which launched on June 12, features Jackson, Bonds, Joe Montana, Ronald Acuña Jr. and other sports stars and celebrities as Goldin and his team travel the country in search of valuable sports, pop culture and entertainment collectibles.
From Jackson’s collection, the auction features: Jackie Robinson’s game-used Lousiville Slugger bat from 1953; a 1956 Sandy Koufax game-used Rawlings Professional Model Glove from his second season; the 1949 Jackie Robinson bat; and Jackson’s 1970 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible 4SP.
Bonds items up for bid include: a 2001 game-used, signed and inscribed bat from his 554th career home run, No. 60 in his record 73-home run season; and a signed 2002 World Series-worn Giants jersey photo-matched to Games 3, 4 and 5.
Also featured is Acuña’s game-worn #13 Diamond Emblem with Karat Gold Chain photo-matched to 38 games, including the 2020 postseason. Acuña presented the chain to the Goldin team on the show.
Among the pop-culture and entertainment items from Season 2 that are featured in the auction are:
• George Clooney’s infamous "Nipple" screen-worn "Hero" batsuit from the 1997 Batman & Robin movie.
• 2012 Alex Van Halen Complete Touring Drum Kit used during the “A Different Kind of Truth” tour.
• 1990 Nintendo World Championship (NWC) Gray Cartridge, which contains minigame versions of Super Mario Bros., Rad Racer and Tetris.
• The 2017 Fleer Ultra Spider-Man Marvel Precious Metal Gems complete set that includes Spider-Man, Wolverine, Venom and Miles Morales, all graded by PSA and named the 2023 PSA Best Non-Sports Set of the Year.
