00:00I
00:03Got to be honest with you. I walked through those doors and I saw what you have here
00:10You know, I said I've got to capture this magic. This is something
00:14It's got to be part of golden and I know you weren't prepared for this, but I
00:19Would like to acquire studio
00:24Well, you know can I I respect you
00:27But you're not the first person to come to me and asked about buying studio auctions
00:35We're only two years out and I never really thought about selling the business
00:40I've watched your exponential growth. It's been incredible. You have a great reputation. You have the show but to sell it so quickly
00:49It would have to be a pretty incredible offer
00:51And 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
00:57If I were to consider letting it go
01:00My vision is to grow golden into one day becoming a billion-dollar
01:07Business one of the biggest trends and collectibles are movie memorabilia Hollywood props and entertainment
01:15Studio auctions is perfect for me, but Brad's a savvy businessman and the guy's also a
01:21transactional attorney I
01:23I don't know what's gonna happen, but we need this deal
01:26You can say hey do I want to be a
01:30Small fish in a giant pond or do I want to be the killer whale in the ocean?
01:38Studio auctions and golden could be the killer whale
01:42We can dominate
01:44This is my baby it's so much passion about collecting I've sacrificed so much put my heart and soul into this. I'm very proud of it
01:52You can count on me
01:54You can count on me
01:58You can count on me
02:00You can count on me
02:02You can count on me
02:04You can count on me
02:06I face a challenge head on
02:08And if you think I'm scared I can say you're dead wrong
02:10I do not complain
02:12We are not the same
02:14I'm at the top of my game
02:16I'm at the top of my game
02:18Everything's coming to a head at golden
02:20We broke new barriers worldwide
02:22I finally consigned logan paul's rare pikachu and we're having the biggest pokemon auction ever next year
02:29I discovered a new honus wagner the holy grail
02:33Now I'm trying to buy studio auctions to expand our global reach. We're gonna shatter records in every category
02:40And to cap it all off
02:44The National Card Show
02:46The biggest event of the year for the hobby is coming up
02:48And I need to do something big
02:50When it comes time to perform
02:52You have to deliver
02:54I'm at the top of my game
03:06Teamwork
03:08We got that teamwork
03:10Yeah
03:11We got that teamwork
03:12Little male day?
03:14Little male day?
03:15Let's go, male's here
03:16Oh, little male day
03:17See what we got here today, man
03:18Always something good
03:19Oh
03:20I already caught myself
03:21Don't slice that mani up
03:22Oh my god
03:23Oh
03:24Ew
03:25We battle through injuries here, right?
03:26You're right, you're right
03:27But Rye is special, guys
03:28Ooh, you're gonna like this one
03:29Ooh
03:30Little Cooper Flag Superfractor
03:32Cooper Flag Super? That is sick
03:34Ooh, that's a nice looking card
03:36That's perfect for the national
03:38Really awesome
03:39The national convention
03:40Is the national sports collectors convention
03:42It happens once a year
03:43And honestly, it's not even national anymore
03:45It is international
03:47It's basically our Super Bowl of collectibles
03:49What do you think, Val?
03:50You're probably like
03:51Dude, we sold one for like 84,000
03:53We got 85k
03:54So I mean, this could...
03:55$84,500, it was Mike and Simon
03:58So I know it very well
03:59I think this could push that
04:00Ooh, this thing is sick, man
04:01I think 60k plus for sure, right?
04:03100%
04:04Number one pick coming to Dallas
04:05I mean, come on
04:06The national's the biggest show in the world
04:08Happens once a year
04:09And it's huge for gold
04:10And there's a lot of pressure on us to produce
04:13Great, great first box, dude
04:14That's what we do
04:15These are really taped up
04:16You might need gloves, clips, when you open these
04:18Look at that
04:19That's, uh, that is something there
04:21It's a speed bag
04:22It's a speed bag
04:23It's a speed bag
04:24I'm gonna guess
04:25You have Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier
04:28This is way before my time, brother
04:29I don't have gloves
04:30Wow
04:31But I'll identify some signatures
04:32Give me some signatures here
04:37Alright, loaded up with names here
04:41Floyd Patterson's on there
04:42There's Joe Frazier
04:43I picked the Joe Frazier
04:44He's on there
04:45Smoking Joe
04:46Okay, okay
04:47Alright, that's cool
04:48Fung, you brought that one in?
04:49Not quite the Super Fractor, but
04:50Yeah, that wasn't
04:51Oh my God
04:58How we doing?
04:59Thanasis, great to see you
05:00Hey, how you doing, Kevin?
05:02How are you, bro?
05:03I'm doing good, how about yourself?
05:04Good, good working out, man
05:05Just, you know, on the grind
05:07Thanasis Antetokupo is a current member of the Milwaukee Bucks
05:11He's also the host of Thanalysis
05:13One of the fastest growing and most popular basketball podcasts out there
05:18I'll say when you play, you're locked in, you're zero deep
05:21Do you know what the National Sports Collectors Convention is?
05:24Uh, I've heard a little bit about it
05:26So it's a really big collectors event
05:28Everybody's there, everybody exhibits
05:30I wanted to conduct a panel, you know, on eBay Live, which goes out all over the world
05:36And not just you, but the whole family
05:38Everybody's gonna get equal billing
05:40There are five Antetokupo brothers
05:45Four of them play professional basketball
05:48The most well-known is Giannis
05:50NBA champion, two-time Most Valuable Player
05:53And probably the best player in the NBA today
05:55Thanasis is the oldest, also a current NBA player
06:00You've got Kostas, who was the first to win an NBA championship with the Lakers back in 2020
06:06And you've got Alex, who is the youngest, who also plays professional basketball in Greece
06:12Tell Giannis that I'm gonna bring, you know, some special cards
06:17Because he hits me up all the time for cards
06:19One of the things we're gonna exhibit in our booth is the actual backboard
06:25That was used when the Bucks won the NBA championship a few years ago
06:31Wow
06:32With you and Giannis
06:33So I'm wondering, is there any shot that you can come down and possibly sign it?
06:39These brothers are bigger than basketball
06:42They transcend into pop culture
06:45If I can get the brothers on a live panel at the biggest convention of the year
06:50That'd be massive and significant for Golden
06:53So what do you think?
06:55I think for me, the most important thing is that if it's a family thing, we'll be there
07:06Thank you so much, it's gonna be loads of fun
07:09I really look forward to seeing you, I look forward to seeing the family

15:44which broke the record yannis is a big collector how many of your logo men do you have uh i cannot
15:51disclose them okay okay but you have at least one right i might have more than one i think i have a
15:57couple the great thing about the nasus yannis as well as the rest of the family is they are collectors
16:04if you could have a piece of memorabilia from another athlete over the years what do you think
16:08you guys would want maybe like a club from tiger woods it's a good one tigers a goat michael jordan
16:13hands down hands down i thought i'd hear a little boxing that's my title that's why he types it
16:20what about ali ali i mean talk about all-time goats right you know we might as well announce right now
16:28that early in 2026 golden and the antetokupos will be having a charity auction with a hundred
16:37percent of the proceeds to benefit the charles antetokupo family foundation and we are very proud at
16:43golden the brothers started the charles antetokupo family foundation to benefit the underprivileged
16:51and it's very important to them and uh i i'm very very proud very very proud of it so if i can help
16:58their charity and their family foundation i feel good and they're really going to appreciate it
17:03enjoy the rest of the national everybody let's hear it for posters alex the nazis and yannis
17:11i killed an ebay live in front of a thousand people i'm thrilled hopefully the team is working hard to get
17:20more consignments uh-huh thank you check this out we're live at the national this is gary v and
17:29this is a super fracture it's on golden auctions right now it's live what an honor to have this
17:36massive card on golden
17:42got something really nice for you all right what do you think oh my gosh you've got to be kidding me
17:48brother this is the 1998 trophy oh my gosh with that illustration by the original artist what
17:57mitsuhiro arita is one of the original artists of pokemon and he's actually illustrated over 600
18:03of these cards having this sketch on here is insane you put this on that auction format and this could go
18:10crazy to the right buyer you know that it's true but i also want to target the guys that are coming
18:14into the lobby that they want to put something into their collection okay this could be that part
18:19so i'm actually thinking private sale for this we could definitely do private sale if you want to do
18:23that the only downside of it again you're only targeting a few buyers yeah honestly like i think
18:27in an auction like i hate to do estimates but i think this could potentially be a half a million
18:31dollar card maybe you shoot to that top top tier right off the bat and if we don't get the offer we
18:36like then maybe we only offer it to a few really select guys and honestly 100. i'm down for that
18:44that's a great plan yeah you're my guy bro let's go let me get in the safe we'll take care of you
18:48all right awesome man man brother the device looks good i've been my device we're not going to give it
18:52to him he's going to text them hey dave hey how's it going what are you doing here long time no see huh
18:58my man brad is a big social media guy he's a former baseball drafted player he told me he has an
19:04authentic childhood jersey of leonel mess anything connected to messi is huge leonel messi is the
19:12biggest player worldwide and the most collectible athlete right now outside of maybe michael jordan
19:18so this jersey right here is the message jersey game used when he was 10. that thing is so tiny
19:24how the heck do you have a messy jersey from when he was 10. this was given to messi's friend's
19:29grandfather by the coach of grandoli wow grandoli is a soccer club for kids in messi's hometown
19:37in argentina and it's where he grew up playing soccer this is where messi became messy for this
19:43to have stayed in the coach's collection for decades this jersey could really really set some records
19:50unfortunately grant grandfather passed away and their kids entrusted this jersey with me so there's a
19:56couple things here i'm gonna have to authenticate that of course so the first thing i'm gonna need
19:59is a letter of provenance we're gonna have to tell that story right obviously we're the place to go
20:03with this but is there a price expectation a minimum value that they're looking for yeah i think the
20:07family is um wanting to start at 25 000 and they don't have any real expectations beyond that but we're
20:15hopeful look i think 25 000 is more than fair but i think six figures plus on this thing i think with
20:23golden man i'd like to break the messy record with that jersey let's bring this to market let's do
20:29it my man let's go brad man great to see you bro hey hey nice to meet you man i like the hat okay so here
20:37we go that is the very first bulls jersey ever worn by michael jordan as a professional player yeah what
20:46does this go for multi-millions yeah that's gonna be multi-millions okay so ali wore that robe into
20:56the fight of the century i want to see it i want to see he wants to see it all these relationships
21:02with celebrities and with the biggest athletes in the world can really help me on my path to make
21:07gold in a billion dollar company we got to get a picture of this take a picture of me right now
21:12yeah okay here we go picture of me right now i'll show my kids this right take a picture of me
21:18please we're dealing with a really tight-knit family so for me it's important that golden
21:25has a relationship not just with yannis but with the entire family so this is the actual backboard
21:34from your nba championship that was used in the nba finals wow wow where do you want me to sign this
21:42here at the national we reap the rewards of all the year's work getting the onto the cupo family to
