Lot of Michael Jackson signatures... real or fake? (Forger Erick Oswaldo McKay, Erick Mckay Burgos) marc-at2014, always-4-fun, bluelifesaver, disneycolector eBay names

Hope I'm asking this in the right section...
I've recently bumped into this person's little collection of MJ sigs...

http://billiejean5809.deviantart.com/gallery/

My concern is that all those sigs look too similar... I'm thinking they're signed by the same person, but I'm stumped as to if they're really Michael.

Thank you for any opinions/help in advance.

I'm wondering also about this signed MJ photobook by S Regan, which has an inscription: 'Love the full moon'..... (Sold Premier Props, July 11, $950)

Lizzie -- Another nice find.... More like "Love the full Erick", lol. Poor winner who paid the $950. Ouch.

I may be seeing too many connections, but after finding the 'Christmas tree' signature, I found another one for sale on ebay today.  The ebay one has been certified as 'matching known exemplars' on 7th October 14.   Since it reminded me of Erick's, I've tried to make a composite of Erick's drawings and the ones on ebay. I'm not sure  if the photo will be clear enough.

1st photo is a bit small.  Here is the 'Christmas tree' signature from ebay, on its own:

I thought the signature looked like this one, from the 'Erick' folder in this thread:

Lizzie where is this one from, if you wouldn't mind posting links when you find items, it helps so we don't have to ask.

Hey Wascher, earlier today i was reading and saw a post, that looked like a copy and paste from another website that said some horrible things and outright lies about you and Steve and Roger. And now it seems to be gone. Do you know where that original load of filth came from and who wrote it?

Please be careful about what you post. This mIKCEY mOUSE is authentic. Also authenticated by Roger.

Hello, I'm from The Memorabilia Vault. We are the company selling this Mickey Mouse on Ebay. I just wanted to explain things a little further. This particular piece and all the art in our inventory at the time come from people very close to Michael Jackson. We have implemented a policy in which any art by Michael Jackson must have provable documented provenance and/or be certified by very well respected companies.The pieces we have in our inventory are well documented with provable provenance and have certification from Roger Epperson. If you look at the certificate of autheticity accompanying the Mickey Mouse and Mickey Mouse Hollywood star we have on ebay at this time you will see Roger Epperson has detailed that the pieces are "signed and drawn by Michael Jackson". We are very thorough here. We spend 7 days a week working on collecting and selling memorabilia. The majority of that time is spent on Michael Jackson related items. Thru our time and efforts we have made many connections which have helped us obtain pieces like the one shown here from people close to MJ. Michael Jackson was very generous. He would often give pieces like the one shown to his close friends and family. He would spend literally hours at a time creating art of various people, celebrities, Disney characters and of other things that interested him. We have spent a lot of time researching his clothing, memorabilia, handwriting, autographs and love for art. As you mentioned this particular Mickey Mouse shown in the photo has the star or Christmas tree effect on top of his signature. Usually he would do this at the end of his signature but from time to time he would do this in various places, in this case on the top of the M. More than likely he added it there for artistic flare. If you or anyone is looking to get authentic pieces of Michael Jackson's art I would recommend these pieces. It is rare to get MJ art of this quality.

I can attest to what has been said.  The provenance shown is solid.  I have a few pieces of art in my own collection thanks to Memorabilia Vault.  They go to great lengths to sell authentic Michael Jackson memorabilia including the artwork in question.

If you don't mind me asking,what exactly makes the provenance so solid? I'm just curious as to what type of provenance accompanies these items.
