Authenticity is Everything
Michael Jackson signed program pages - Did JSA get it right?
Here are a couple of Michael Jackson signed pages from two different "History" tour programs. They were likely signed in 1996 or 1997. Both come with full LOAs from JSA.
They are very nice-looking autographs, but are they real? Was JSA correct to pass them? They are each offered by two different sellers.
All opinions are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

They're not ones that I feel comfortable with.

Thanks everyone. I was wondering if perhaps this was a "style" of autograph that maybe MJ was using around the time period of the History Tour.

I know there is, of course, a vintage MJ style with some nuances within that style. And, obviously, there's MJ's more "modern" style - maybe with some tweaks here and there. But was there maybe, kind of, an authentic style that showed up in his hand from say the very early-90s to the early-2000s?
I know of the "vintage" Madonna compared to the "modern" Madonna autograph. And this happened with Michael. But what about the intervening years? I wish there was an MJ autograph study kind of like Charles Hamilton's study of JFK, although JFK's writing was CONSTANTLY in a state of flux.
Now what I'm sort of calling a "style" here of MJ autographs, I've seen a little out in the marketplace. So could this be the steady style of a forger? I know there's a Canadian MJ forger out there. I need to read about him a little more. Could this be his work?
