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.

So the ONE item Darren can't cancel the sale on fast enough is that forged standee. The one item he can't (if money had already changed hands) issue a refund on quick enough is that "bootleg" standee.
Ahh, the bootleg excuse pulled out of his arse.
Beyond a bootlegger having the wherewithal to use a Triumph logo not in use until after Michael's death... we have the additional question of just HOW a bootlegged standee somehow got into the Collection of Tompkins and Bush with the same mass produced unfamiliar MJ signature style - all having been "gifted" to Bush and sold by Juliens-Bush on December 2nd.
How EXACTLY did this standee get into the personal collection of Michael Lee Bush? If it is a bootleg as Darren alleges, is the signature on it also fake according to Darren? If so, then how is it the self glorified CEO of Julien's auction still purports Bush's "provenance" to be beyond question. Better yet, if Darren still wants to claim that all of T&B's Michael Jackson signed items he's sold are authentic MJ sigs, HOW EXACTLY is it that MJ got his hands on this "bootlegged" standee, signed it, and then GIFTED it to Bush and Tompkins?
Were Bush and Tompkins on a friendly basis with this bootlegger and got a freebie sample from them, only to shove it under MJ's face to sign? NO, I KNOW. Michael Jackson himself was personal friends with the bootlegger and the bootlegger "gifted" MJ a fake standee - at which point the first thing MJ thought to do was to sign it in a style unfamiliar to anyone researched in Michael's signature... and then RE-gift it over to his best buddy, Michael Lee Bush.
Again, how EXACTLY did this "bootleg" standee get into the collection of the Bush-whacker and put up for sale by Darren and Bush?

Darren Juliens suggestion that the questionable standee is a bootleg, Is in fact an insult to Michael Jackson!! Michael was smart beyond words, are we to believe he had a moment of stupidity and signed a bootlegged item, HIS OWN MERCHANDISE. Are we to believe Michael Jackson, MICHAEL JACKSON would not know if this piece of merchandise had been authorized by him or not! Are we to believe Michael would sign over a trademark and date without knowing he had not yet signed the deal with Bravado! Every time Darren opens his lying mouth he is burying himself deeper and deeper, which is ok by me, but what i cant stand is his attacks on Michael, so he wants to deny saying he had a video of Michael drugged up signing the questionable memorabilia! Well, this is Darrens own supporter that was removed from the Autograph site saying Darren DID say it, and that it came from Michael Bush,,, oh hold on, lets all shut up already because he provided free food to MJFans, lets forget about it all, bc he catered to fans "Who dont even bid" or shall we say, lets all shut up because some were bribed by his hospitality. SHAME!
They say we should not insult Bush or Darren, yeah ok, lets throw them a effing party, MILLIONS of dollars fraud perpetuated by the said party, and we are supposed to be civil, Michael Jacksons autograph industry diluted by greedy thieves and we are supposed to be respectful, i dont think so!! As for Don Barcardi's lil disclaimer, LMFAO, someone tell that dude, you can not put disclaimer up on a comment in a social site, and emails ARE admissible in court, AEG have been screaming to get theirs removed as evidence in the Jackson case!! Text messages WERE used in the Conrad Murray trial,

Hehe, TeamMichael, actually Michael even *collected* bootlegged items at times. I remember in Prague when he sent his people down to buy everything that was hawked around the square where his hotel was. Could have been to get them for infringement, but I doubt it ;). But the bootleg argument is dead in the water, anyway, due to Michelle's new information (posted in the private group).
