    This wasn't just a look at some rare and lovely vintage Bruce Lee collectables. It was a history lesson for those of us who started collecting later on. Also on Tom Bleeker's channel, he spoke about his name being obscured in more recent publications of the Bruce Lee book he wrote with Linda. It seems he was not told about this before hand much to his amazement. Always enjoy seeing Richard's collection as there is so much history with it. Can't wait for the JKD demo later on."I do not hit. I hit my guest all by itself." 😁🙏🐉

    A Truly great episode with One of my biggest Mentor's Sifu Richard Torres, whenever I have a question about anything to do with the Lee Family I call on Richard and never has he been too busy to respond quickly Much Respect To Richard for what he has accomplished in JKD and in Collecting. I remember back in the 70's when we used to write each other. Long before EBay or social media. Once again Great episode and Much Respect Richard!! Plan on seeing you again on my next trip. Until then as always Stay safe, Peace & Brotherhood, John Negron from North Carolina

The next year I went back to the shopping arcade had burned down.☹Also in the 90s at the famous Sino Centre arcade in Mon Gok , Hong Kong a dealer had Bruce Lee footage outtakes. But I regret not buying them. The dealer isn't there now.🙁 Hope to go to Hong Kong in the future for digging rare finds. Thanks Sifu Richard for showing his amazing collection.👍

    Charles , I’d literally get overwhelmed if I was there in your friends homes( Sifu Torres and Martinez). I’d revert to being 15 yrs old all over when I was buying my first Bruce Lee posters at my local mall, and I still have them, and that was in the 70’s ! Real Bruce Lee collectors are just plain loyal with a capital L. Thanks for another great one Charles, till next time. ✌🏽

    What a completist that Sifu Torres is because he has both reprints and originals. By the way, Charles, I see you and Richard posing with Japanese Swords. Does that mean that Richard is a fan of Samurai films? I recall that even Bruce Lee was a fan of Zatoichi the Blind Swordsman, remember?

    Hi Charles another good one Richard has a huge collection there who has the larger collection Richard or Hector? Listening to the prices $24 dollars in 1974 for some of those books they were not cheap at that time but you say$600 to $1000 for mint condition well Bruce lee collectables better Gold or Silver who would of thought plus you have the enjoyment of looking through your collection good stuff

    David, that is a hard one. Richard probably has more collectibles but with collecting it is the quality of collectibles that is in your personal collection and the ones that mean the most to you and have the most significance in your life because they bring up great memories and experiences, that really makes your collection special to you so it’s a difficult question but I would say Richard probably has more items in general. lol glad you enjoyed the show.
