The only thing that would give me a little pause is the slightly abbreviated nature of his last name. There doesn’t seem to be a clearly defined “c” or “k” that you often see in vintage MJ signatures. Having said that I’m still inclined to think it’s real.

For me, it's authentic and I have no doubt

I grabbed a few out of my exemplars that have some of the characteristics that are in this auto.

How do you account for the obvious difference’s in pen pressure and hesitation in the signature? Note the second letter in the last name..as the Pen is brought up to transition it stops (huge blob of ink) then slowly finishes the up stroke... this is not a natural movement..

Pressure differences are natural. For all I know he was distracted, bumped, etc. Any number of things could account for that, frankly.

How do you explain all the things right with it?

I have 4 other vintage sigs that all look quite similar to this one - all bought from different sellers over the course of the last 10 yrs.

One of them is signed by all 5 brothers, which would mean they had to be really, really, really good at forging all 5 brothers for the Michael to be fake.

I also have a signed Thriller record from an exec. that came with a photo of her and Michael - again, sharing many of the same qualities of the sig posted here.

How long have you been studying MJ graphs? I cant ever recall seeing you post opinions on MJ here before, and I look at all of them...
