Authenticity is Everything
Michael Jackson Signing Styles in Julien's Tompkins and Bush Sale
On December 2, Julien's Auctions is selling The Collection of Tompkins and Bush. The collection contains 465 lots of Michael Jackson memorabilia, 287 of them autographed.
Michael Bush and the late Dennis Tompkins were Michael Jackson's costume designers for 25 years, during Jackson's most successful period. They were the consignors of the signed Thriller jacket that Julien's sold for $1,800,000 in June 2011.
Almost all of the autographs in the Tompkins and Bush sale are a variation I'm not familiar with. I've only been looking at Jackson's autograph for a few years, though, and we have members here who have collected him for decades, so I'd appreciate your input and exemplars.
If you know Michael Jackson's autograph well, please look at a few images below from the auction and let me know what you think. Even better, browse the auction and upload any similar examples you have: http://www.julienslive.com/view-auctions/catalog/id/77/
Julien's is the world's premier auction house for Michael Jackson memorabilia, so they would know his autograph better than most of us. I'm just surprised I haven't seen this style before.
Thanks for your help.

Steve,
Would you be willing to send letter and/or email to Julien's stating the questionable authenticity of the autographs?

Brett,
I have. I emailed and talked to him before I posted this discussion. He knows.
If Julien's goes ahead with this auction, they're just a high class Coach's Corner. It's shameful.

If Darren goes ahead with this auction he is aiding and abetting, which is criminal! Period, they all need to be locked up!

Hi Steve,
Lot 702 has no autograph.

Opps...thanks, Rexie! I replaced the image with the signed one.

I guess I am surprised that they would go through with it... having been forewarned. Seems like it puts Julien's in a HUGE position of liability for lawsuits. Even though they don't certify items, they at least portray authenticity. I wouldn't be surprised if someone buys one of these items solely for the purpose of filing suit against them. It's all very surprising and somewhat disheartening.
