King of Collectibles?

[G1911]

In the play, through trickery and depravity while posing as a devout and modest man, Richard makes himself King illegitimately. As part of the saga he has his nephew, the rightful king, murdered in the tower where a King was traditionally to stay before his coronation. Richard's reign is short, and he dies ingloriously, deserted by many of his followers on the field, begging for a horse.
I am determined to prove a villain,
And hate the idle pleasures of these days.
Plots I have laid, inductions dangerous,
By drunken prophecies, libels and dreams

I presume the literary illusion was to the dubious ethics and doubtful legitimacy of the self-proclaimed king's.

Yes he is. Like a modern day Mr. Mint.

I always tell people that you need to be your own biggest self promotor; because if you don't believe it and promote it yourself, it's a fact that no one else will.

Very true, and I have to imagine there are some people who see that as a positive.

I thought the show was fun enough to watch. Netflix has dabbled in the collectibles reality show realm a few times and I've liked what they've done. They did another show Slobby's World that was about this flea market hustler personality who was really into Starter jackets and stuff like that. And they had another show called Swap Shop that was sort of like Storage Wars but with flea markets and garage sales.

Greg, spot on, if a bit over-the-top analogy by me. A couple of unpleasant incidents made me draw the comparison.

Richard III was also a hunchback, but I make no inferences by that fact. Just for the record.

As immortalized in the opening lines.

But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks,
Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass;
I, that am rudely stamp’d, and want love’s majesty
To strut before a wanton ambling nymph;

Ha, and they said reading dead poets and playwrights wouldn't do anything for me! I must say I find Shakespeare to be a more insightful writer than whoever wrote the poetry of Ken Goldin

Ken Goldin, Ken Goldin
Look at them cards that he holdin'

True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings
Kings it makes gods, and of meaner creatures kings
