This tracksuit from 'Game of Death' attained a record RM 225,000 and I presume the new owner would not be wearing it while jogging or in the gym as it is so precious. Then again, I would wear it daily as it is infused with Bruce Lee's great spiritual strength!

Bruce Lee Artefacts Fetch Over RM 840,000 (HK$2 Million) at Spink China

 After tremendous interest worldwide, Spink China's Bruce Lee Memorabilia Sale on 5 December surpassed the estimate of almost every lot, sometimes by hundreds of thousands of HK dollars.

The sale total passed HK$2 million with just fourteen lots. This year marks the fortieth anniversary of Bruce Lee's death, and today Spink celebrated his remarkable life with a collection of memorabilia ranging from highly collectable autographs to personal clothing, jewellery and iconic weapons.

 Leading the highlights was Bruce Lee's 'Game of Death' jumpsuit, which was personally designed, commissioned and worn by Bruce Lee during the filming of 'Game of Death' in 1972. While estimated to fetch between HK$250,000 and HK$300,000, it reached an amazing HK$780,000 or RM 326,000! See below.

Another 'Game of Death' artefact surpassing its estimate by hundreds of thousands was his Nunchaku - one of the most iconic martial arts weapons of all time - which went for HK$540,000 or RM 225,000.
