[wwkirk]

This is from Pride 5, a rare program in itself, and i wish to share some pics and the front and back covers. This is the card where the foxed match between Mark Coleman vs Nobuhiko Takada happened.

Did you do a lot of traveling to acquire so much neat memorabilia?

Did you do a lot of traveling to acquire so much neat memorabilia?

No i did not! I had found a storefront based in Japan who had a very large collection and sold me many f the programs i possess! I just finished my inventory this morning and have 314 programs and 1.082 MMA magazines in total.

This is Pride Bushido 1, in just about every program they make, it is filled with visually aesthetic pictures of the fighters and artwork. No two programs ever look alike and are made with great attention to detail.

Programs are such a cool thing to collect! What an amazing collection.

This is from a limited edition and highly rare biography of Rickson Gracie called ""20th Century Warrior's Spirit: Rickson Gracie". A 271 page photo book of the grandmaster himself. The photographer, Yorihito Yamauchi, took all the exquisite pictures which i will share some with you here today.

Here is the official yearbook of Pride FC 2005, a 120 page photo-profile book of the fighters in the organization. These are some of the pictures in the text.

I started collecting MMA programs back in 2010. I didn't intend to become a rare professional collector but i guess i can be considered one since i now have over 300 in my possession. Including all the Pride FC programs, all DREAM programs, 61 K-1 programs, 23 Pancrase programs, 14 Vale Tudo programs, and 115 UFC programs.

No Black Belt? I am disappointed.

I remember buying a few of them back in the 80's. That's old school.
