This is an episode of The Pomp Podcast with host Anthony "Pomp" Pompliano and guests, Ken Goldin and Ross Hoffman. Ken Goldin is the founder and chairman of Goldin Auctions. Ross Hoffman is the new CEO of Goldin Auctions, which has grown into the industry leader in collectible and memorabilia auctions.
Goldin Auctions recently received a large investment from The Chernin Group and Ross joined Ken and the Goldin Auction team as part of that transaction. I’m joined by my brother, Joe Pompliano, for the conversation.
In this conversation, we discuss the Goldin Auctions story, the trading card market, auction dynamics, what investors should avoid, how Ross and the team plan to improve the technology, and Ken shares some of his favorite sports stories.
