Mike,

Do you have versions of the Michael Jacksons that aren't so pixelated? That's really needed to authenticate the one on the left. The one on the right is so far off to me, though, that I'm comfortable saying I don't like it without a better image.

That's the only image available I think Steve, thanks for your opinion.

I definitely don't think the McCartney is genuine.

Hi, I don't like these MJ's at all. Just my 2 cents.

I think the one on the left is too narrow, while the one on the right is too wide. And they look calculated to me - not at all like the legits I am aware of. But I do like the photo on the right :)

Steve, 

These sold for almost $1,000 from www.sportsignings.com.  They could be in persons, but I'm no expert on MJ.  I've been asking around, as you know, and have gotten mixed opinions.  Some say most of their stuff is legitimate, but some you have to be weary of some.  They appear to be an "in person" company, which is the "usual" story with most of these businesses.  However, if you look at some of the photo proof, you can see the actual autograph for sale being signed either in photograph or video proof, very hard to doctor.  I would paste an example, but apparently there are copyrights involved so I suggest you check yourself to see what I mean.  On their music/celebrity section, you can see Samuel Jackson holding the exact photograph he signed that they listed.  I plan on buying a less expensive signed photograph and sending it to PSA/DNA and see what they think, maybe I could get a better overall "picture" of them as a business.  Also, they have a double lifetime money guarantee on their items.  If only PSA/DNA allowed quick opinions on products for sale on websites in addition to auctions, it would be SO useful right now.  I'll let you know how it goes.   

Appreciate the help,

Mike.

Just had myself a look at their website and have to say I'm not impressed. I think a cunning mind and photoshop make video-proof possible for just about anyone who wants to claim it. I'm not saying these guys don't or didn't meet who they say they did - but I ain't buying, I'll tell you that much. And for the record, I take issue with anybody who refers to him as "Jacko"!

Haha thanks for your help CR.  I plan on sending some rather inexpensive items from them to PSA, so I will let you know how that goes. 

Mike.

The Paul is SO awful, its laughable.... Michael Jackson's looks better.

Paul looks very "shaky"; starts and stops all over.  The business that is selling claims they are an In person business so maybe McCartney was walking while he signed it?  Who knows nowadays...

Thanks for your input Robin, much appreciated.
