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.

Lisa Marie,
I'm sorry, but I don't think that Michael Jackson actually signed that autograph. It's not as bad as the Bush ones but it's quite far off.

Dont know if anyone posted this before, sorry if its a repeat. RT @TheMJAP Still waiting for info regarding why Juliens sold a picture of Jackie as signed by Jermaine and advertised as Jermaine!

First of all I really hope that nothing happens to this site and I hope that it is just hot air and it will blow over.
Random question...
Do we know who purchased the standee (lot 749) and has anybody come forward asking questions regarding its authenticity?

It's been four weeks as of today since I first wrote Darren Julien, telling him they were forgeries that I thought were signed by Michael Bush.
Monday will be four weeks since this discussion came online.
There are over 1700 replies to this discussion.
It's run 141 pages.
We've asked several times for people to come forward here who believe the Bush MJs are genuine and tell us why.
We've asked for examples of genuine ones that look like Bush's.
But not one person has come here to do so.

Steve the guy that got a refund from Juliens, could you email him to see if he got his money, and how the process works, did he return item, how?? it would help others here who are trying to get refunds. and would he be willing to help others with their refunds? Maybe start a new discussion, Tomkind,Bush, Juliens refunds??? what do u think. TY
