Someone tried to copy the Moonwalker book autograph (probably by putting the paper on top of the box and tracing) and they did a crappy job.

And then to say it was given to a cancer patient is very sad

Q: Hi How have you had this autograph?
A: Hi, Thank for your interest in my auction. I purchased this and one other MJ signed item a few years ago from a woman who was selling some of the gifts Michael had sent to her family. Her relative worked for Michael at Neverland Ranch for many years. When Michael heard her son had cancer, he invited she and her son to visit Neverland and the family became friends with MJ. He sent them gifts over the years. When I purchased this from her, she was also selling some of her Neverland stationary, sealed Mystery Drink, signed CDs, and other signed gifts. I researched, and she had also occasionally sold MJ items prior to his death. Hope this helps. Regards,

Sounds like the seller got taken themselves, now they're passing along the favor.

Autograph forgeries - the gift that keeps on giving.

A close up shows the grooves where the signature was traced onto the wood--and the person trying to follow it - "whoopsed" missing the lines. How naive could someone really REALLY be?

While not always true, but a general rule of thumb is, the longer the story, the more likely the autograph is fake. Real autographs do not need such detailed "substantiation."
