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.

Mr. Nolan: - me think thou protest too much - truth hurts doesn't it.

I think consequences of the truth are what is really bothering him. And here I used to think that Julien's cared about their clients.

Hanging a shingle out for business in Beverly Hills is convenient and profitable camouflage, for a while.
Exposure of their unscrupulous dealings has brought forth their true natures. Imagine that.
Using glam to mask the scam only works for so long. They prove their commonness, more so every day.
Truth always comes out in the end.

Also note that he barely lifted the pen so the letters H and A look almost star shaped, and the N is always in one stroke. Completely different from the auction examples.

Yes Ive seen that one before. I think this was right when they first met and before he was hired full time. On the set of Capt EO of course. 1986 or so?
