Authenticating Michael Jackson

Hi AML,
Who is the best person or company to authenticate Michael Jackson pieces? I got Frank Caiazzo to do my Beatles and wanted to follow suit with my MJ..

I have an autographed 45 that Michael signed for me at the Sony store in 2000. Now that I'm a little older and wiser, I thought a proper LOA might give it more weight.

Thank you in advance for any replies.

That's a really nice autograph. I wouldn't have it authenticated until you're ready to sell. Then have it authenticated by the service that brings the most for MJ autographs at that time. My first choice at this time would be REAL.

Thank you Steve. It is a memory I have always treasured. Your suggestion makes total sense. I don't think I'm quite ready to part with this just yet. I was quite Young when I got this and now that I'm more of a collector I was having an inner struggle whether to authenticate it or not.

I'm a die-hard music collector and have gotten autographs over the years from my own pen, but it wasn't until I joined this group that authenticating maybe something to consider... everything that I got autographed I just kept keeping for myself.. but that may mean diddly-squat for someone else.

Thank you for your comment. That will help me understand a little better should there be a time I may need to pull the trigger on selling
