• ... that Ken Goldin has sold over US$1.3 billion in collectibles?
  • Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Oliver Golden
  • Comment: I'm a few days tardy with the nom because I forgot to get it done before going out of town for the weekend, but it got to size in the time period.

Hook eligibility:

• Cited:
• Interesting:

Overall: Can you identify the source(s) for the hook and cite the relevant excerpt(s). Very likely I missed it among the multiple cites for that sentence. Thanks. — Bagumba ( talk) 19:18, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

• I will look at this today. I didn't write that part of the article and I didn't check it before my nom. I may have to rewrite and provide a new hook. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 15:40, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
• Updating you here Bagumba, I should have taken more time to verify this myself before nominating, but I was traveling over July 4. Not an excuse. His website says as collectors ourselves who have sold over $2B in collectibles, which of course won't verify our hook. I can't otherwise find "$2 billion". I will rewrite the article this weekend, culling low quality sources and adding a couple of better ones I've found, and propose a solid hook. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 16:04, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

• Okay, I cut cruft. This source says he has sold $1.3 billion, so I'm changing the hook to that Bagumba. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 00:10, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

  @ Muboshgu: The lead conflicts, saying that it's the company with $1.3B: ... his company, Goldin Auctions, which has sold $1.3 billion in memorabilia related to sports, history, and pop culture. The body is also ambiguous with "Goldin" (i.e. Ken Goldin or Goldin Auctions?) whether it's him or the company w/ $1.3B: In 2012, Goldin established Goldin Auctions.[ Goldin has auctioned more than $1.3 billion worth of collectibles, including sports memorabilia and historical artifacts.— Bagumba ( talk) 22:27, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

  @ Bagumba: apologies for the delay, I've been a bit distracted lately. I'm correcting the lead to make it clear that it covers his entire career. Patch says Throughout his career, Goldin has sold more than $1.3 billion in sports, history and pop culture memorabilia. Also this source (not in the article yet but I'll add it) says Goldin himself has sold more than $ 1.3 billion in memorabilia, so I think it passes V. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 19:26, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

  Hook is now consistent with the article text and cited sources.— Bagumba ( talk) 10:15, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
