The upcoming Netflix show on Goldin Auctions that’s being produced by Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions continues to move forward.
The production company seems to be taking a keen interest in the hobby with word from Variety that it has signed a three-year partnership deal with The MINT Collective. The event, which was postponed from January to late March, is being coordinated by IMG and Collectable in Las Vegas.
Scheduled for March 25-27, it will include a large card show and “collectors carnival,” speakers and panel discussions along with a party at a nightclub. Hall of Famer Jerry Rice is scheduled to make an appearance and Manning will also speak.
“The MINT Collective is bringing together people who love collecting and who recognize the great growth the sports memorabilia world has been experiencing,” Manning stated. “The team at Omaha looks forward to working with The MINT Collective to bring sports fans closer to this industry.”

A new auction of game-used jerseys from the Premier Hockey Federation is raising money for girls sports.
The Metropolitan Riveters Black Rosie Jersey Auction offers signed jerseys worn in a game late last month.
The jerseys feature the Riveters’ primary logo with Rosie the Riveter depicted as Black, honoring the hundreds of thousands of “Black Rosies” who entered the American workforce during World War II.
All proceeds from the auction benefit Black Girl Hockey Club, a nonprofit organization that focuses on making hockey more inclusive.
