Goldin Auctions Scraper — Sports Cards & Collectibles

Scrapes Goldin Auctions — the #1 high-end sports-card and collectibles auction house, eBay-owned — for active marketplace listings and past auction results. Returns lot titles, grader and grade (PSA/BGS/SGC/CGC), final sale prices, buyer's premium %, bid counts, reserve status, auction tier (Weekly/Premium/Elite), and image URLs.

What You Get

• Active marketplace listings from the Goldin buy-it-now / auction floor, updated in near-real-time.
• Sold comps archive — past lots from Weekly, Premium, and Elite auctions, each with a final sale price and sale timestamp.
• Grader + grade normalization — parses PSA, Beckett (BGS/BVG), SGC, CGC, and raw out of lot titles. Returns both the label ("PSA 9") and the numeric grade (9.0) so you can sort and filter without regex.
• Buyer's premium aware — the buyers_premium_pct field is present on every record (Goldin currently charges 22%). Final sale price + premium is the true cost of ownership.
• Auction tier field — Weekly, Premium, and Elite tiers have different buyer pools and different price ceilings. The auction_type field separates them.
• Flexible filtering — filter by mode, auction tier, sub-category, grading service, keyword, price range, and sold-date window.

Who Uses Goldin Auction Data?

• Card dealers and consignors — pull sold comps to price consignments and set reserve floors.
• Portfolio modelers — track monthly Elite auction results to model high-grade card price trends over time.
• Market researchers — the $300M+ in annual Goldin volume makes it a benchmark for the broader graded-card market.
• Shill-bid analysts — bid count, reserve amount, and reserve-met fields let you flag suspicious auction patterns.
• Auction aggregators — pair Goldin results with MySlabs peer-to-peer comps and PSA auction price reports for full market coverage.

How It Works

1. Pick a mode — marketplace for active listings, past_auctions for sold results, or lot for individual lot URLs.
2. Set your filters — auction tier, sub-category, grader, keyword, price range, and sold-date window are all optional. Leave them blank and get everything.
3. The scraper runs Goldin's own search — results come back as structured records, paginated automatically.
4. Records are normalized and returned — grader and grade are parsed from the lot title, buyer's premium is pulled from the API response, and image URLs are assembled from the CDN base path.

🔍 FAQ

How do I scrape Goldin Auctions?

Goldin Auctions Scraper connects directly to Goldin's search API — no browser. Set the mode, add any filters, and run. The scraper paginates automatically.

How much does Goldin Auctions Scraper cost to run?

Goldin Auctions Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing at 1.5x the base rate. A 500-record past-auction pull typically runs well under $0.10 total.

Can I filter Goldin results by grader and grade?

You can filter by grader (PSA, Beckett, SGC, CGC, or Ungraded). Grade-level filtering (e.g., only PSA 10s) is not an API parameter, but the grade_numeric output field makes post-run filtering straightforward.

What is auction_type and why does it matter?

Goldin runs three auction tiers: Weekly (high volume, lower floor), Premium (monthly, mid-grade), and Elite (monthly, high-value lots). Buyer pools and price levels differ meaningfully across tiers. The auction_type field lets you analyze each tier independently rather than blending them into one distribution.

What does buyers_premium_pct mean?

It is the percentage added to the hammer price that the buyer pays on top. Goldin currently charges 22%. A lot that closes at $1,000 costs the buyer $1,220. The field is present on every record so the math is in the data, not in a footnote.

Why Use Goldin Auctions Scraper?

• First Goldin actor on Apify — zero coverage of the #1 high-end sports-card auction house until now, despite $300M+ in annual volume.
• Buyer's premium included in every record — most comp tools report hammer price only. This one reports what the buyer actually paid.
• No browser, low overhead — direct API access means fast runs and low per-record cost, which matters when you are pulling 500k+ past-auction lots.
