That means you have a one in 10 chance of picking out a genuine one. It’s why collectors are willing to fight tooth and nail for any Bruce Lee signature that is definitely genuine – it’s why his signature has grown in value by 14.3% per annum since 2000.

Member DragonClaws Posted April 12, 2019 Member Share Posted April 12, 2019 Source- https://www.lovemoney.com/gallerylist/53069/the-worlds-most-valuable-autographs-and-how-to-spot-a-fake Bruce Lee – $15,547 (£12k) Courtesy Autograph Magazine The martial arts legend is a collectors' favourite and Bruce Lee memorabilia is big business. Autographs penned by the Way of the Dragon star attract high prices and make for a money-spinning investment. Sale prices have increased by 12% since 2000. Pictured is a good example of a Bruce Lee autograph. Identifying fake Bruce Lee autographs Courtesy Bruce Lee Autographs Fake Bruce Lee autographs are ten-a-penny. As with most forgeries, they tend to be a lot more affordable than the genuine article – if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Another thing to watch out for is signed Way of the Dragon posters. Lee never signed any of these, so if you ever come across one you'll know it's 100% fake.

Member DragonClaws Posted May 22, 2019 Member Share Posted May 22, 2019 Quote Paul Maslansky is developing "The Silent Flute," a martial arts feature based on a treatment written by Bruce Lee prior to his death in 1973. Maslansky ("Russia House," "Return to Oz," the "Police Academy" franchise) has announced he's secured financing from Hong Kong-based Bey Logan's B&E Prods. Maslansky produced an earlier version of the movie in 1978 -- better known as "Circle of Iron" -- with the late Sandy Howard. He secured rights to the project from Howard's widow, Arlene Howard. Maslansky's son, Sasha Maslansky, is writing the new screenplay based on Lee's original treatment. Bey Logan, Sasha Maslansky and Kurt Fethke will serve as producers, with David Tadman and Steve Kerridge also attached to the project as co-producers. I didnt know about David Tadman being connected to one of the many Silent Flute re-make projects back in 2010?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DragonClaws Posted May 27, 2019 Member Share Posted May 27, 2019 Source- https://autographsale.net/bruce-lee-autographs/ Fake Bruce Lee Autographs Having been an expert in Bruce Lee Autographs and Autograph Examples for a number of years, I thought I would update my own autograph website and give buyers/collectors some knowledge into Bruce Lee autographs so they have more experience when looking to purchase. To date the market these days are full of forgeries, many of them very noticeable but others great forgeries plus many machined copied signatures. But we have authentic Bruce Lee autograph for sale. Here are a few fake examples that have been for sale over the years. They are certainly a lot more forgeries than authentic Bruce Lee autographs. As you can see some of these attempts are very poor but when you don’t know what your looking at and see a Bruce Lee autograph for sale at $100 you might presume you are onto a winner. The saying goes, if it’s too good to be true then it usually is. When purchasing I would recommend buying an item from a dealer who offers a lifetime money back guarantee and UACC Registered Dealers.

Member laagi Posted May 29, 2019 Member Share Posted May 29, 2019 FYI I would be specifically careful with COA's bearing the name and "signature" of Taky Kimura. And while there are the obvious ones forgeries did get increasingly better in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think John Little is one of the few, who has managed to keep his reputation/character intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I call it quits. It's not the cheapest of past time either, when there's money to be made you get forgeries. There's was a recent movie with Mellissa Mcarthy and Rchard E.Grant Can You Forgive Me(2018). That deals with a pair of people who make their living ripping people off with faked collectbles.

Member DragonClaws Posted August 20, 2019 Member Share Posted August 20, 2019 I wonder if these were genuine?.

She declined to identify the current owner, except to say it was someone in the American film industry who has a large collection of Bruce Lee memorabilia.

Link- https://live.autographmagazine.com/forum/topics/bruce-lee-real-or-fake I would say a fake. The " r " of Bruce and the "L" of Lee don't look the same as the real autograph shown in a previous post above the post talking about Linda Lee's letter regarding a certain Mr Tadman and fakes. Also, the loops of the "e" are way too long in comparison to the above mentioned signature... And it seems tp me that even the Chinese signature isn't the same ! But maybe I'm wrong...
