I believe Heritage are selling them - or some of them - today (auction is 16-18 July 2021):

This is actually the main Lee auction today (16 July):

Should be a very interesting sale. Including some artifacts from ETD.

Just curious if anyone picked up any items?  Some reasonable prices out there and very interesting reading through the letters.  Not a good look for the BL Foundation, especially Linda unfortunately.

No I didn't buy anything from this auction. Although the prices for the most part were reasonable. I did leave a couple of bids but was not successful unfortunately. 

I agree it's not a good look for the foundation and in particular Linda. I wonder if they will say anything. Probably not! Further comments not warranted here I think. 

It was a extraordinary find from a flea market or similar. 

I found the styling of some of his signatures very interesting. Especially one of them. Almost unrecognizable!

Agree, very interesting some of the signatures, especially some of the letters from Hong Kong and Thailand with the full signature in the early 70’s.  A few were very poorly written and sloppy.  At least one of the letters looked to be Linda’s writing in which she wrote/signed for Bruce.  


The auction is a great example of his letters in chronological order, and how his signature changed over the years.

I believe some of them letters are not written by Bruce. Some say Bob Baker's daughter was selling the letters. A UK newspaper online says the letters came from a flea market its all abit odd. 

Have to agreed doesn't look good for the Bruce Lee Foundation from what was on some letters. Then again in the 60's & 70's most if not every big name star at the time was taking some type of drugs.

Thank you Kato for your input.

I posted the above signatures of the ones that concerned me the most. They certainly do not look like BL signatures from any angle. But they still sold Nethertheless for good money.

The nunchuckers that sold for $46,000 were in my opinion fake also. I did ask the auction to provide me with a copy of the certificate two times without receiving said reply. I believe I had seen these ones before but can't confirm without the certificate. 

I have asked Greg for his thoughts etc.

Completely agree on the nunchucks.  The only ones I would ever consider buying are from the Superior Galleries auctions in 1993 (sold by Linda) or 1994 (sold by George Lee).
