Authenticity is Everything
A Michael Jackson steal - imho
A large, gorgeous vintage Michael Jackson signed album sleeve from 1980 sold for a mere $485. The seller used the always-risky Auction-format and did not have an LOA or COA. The winner also got a vintage MJ doll and a few periodicals. A seller does take a big risk sometimes when using the Auction format. But let me be clear: Michael Jackson prices have NOT been dropping by any means. Just look at recent prices I listed below. This was just a product of the risky auction format and NO LOA. Unfortunately, for the most part, not having a Beckett, Epperson, PSA, or JSA LOA makes getting full value much harder. I just wanted to show this beautiful MJ autograph and lament my not seeing the auction before it ended. Had I seen it, the item would have gone for more for sure.
Typically, MJ autographs don’t come cheap. About six weeks ago a Michael Jackson signed Thriller album sold for $4049, and the signature wasn’t a particularly nice looking one. Another signed Thriller sold for $3995, and yet another Thriller signed album sold for $2880. Within the last week or two a signed Dangerous VHS box with a slightly faded Autograph sold for $1299. And signed photos often sell in the $1200- $1700 range. Heck, a signed cut PSA/DNA encapsulated sold for the Best Offer from an initial price of $2750 just this week. It was also a very nice more “modern” MJ autograph.
Anyway, I wish I would have seen the signed album sleeve from The Jacksons Triumph album while the auction was still ongoing. Here’s a few of pics. I think that is just a beautiful autograph.

this is the most bizarre discussion that has been posted on this site in a very long time. Maybe we should just stick to autographs.

it does remind me about the time we had to decide how to handle mass murders or people like hitler and eventualy it worked out.
its a touchy subject and I cant blame anyone for there opinions.
no different than someone asking for help with getting a trump graph now. and trust me it wont be the last time this subject will come up about a celiberty but evetualy it works its self out. were are supposed to big boys and the main goal here is to make sure who ever is buying what doesn't get ripped off.
maybe just a is it real line is all that required for controversial people that might work. short and simple
rant and my 2 cents over

Okay, here’s one that sold on January 26, 2019. It was listed for $4500. The seller accepted a Best Offer $4000. It was authenticated by Beckett (BAS).
If you have an iPad, it’s easy to increase the size of the pic with your fingers. Sorry for the small size, but when I try to upload a larger pic, I’m told that it’s apparently over 7mb. So there’s not much I can do about that.
But yes, this one sold for $4000.

This one unfortunately is not real, BAS made a mistake.
Here are others like this that are from the same forger (these were listed at Cooper and Owen a few yrs ago - I did send them a message at the time that these were not authentic, but did not get a response)
4000? That's a shame (note the i on Michael in every one of these..... )
This is the one you posted which is the same forgery style

Great work, Wascher, as usual! Thanks for bringing these to our attention. Yes, that’s really too bad someone spent a lot of money on a forgery. Sad.

Here’s one that sold on January 29, 2019 for $4049. It was also authenticated by BAS.

Here’s another one that sold on January 25, 2019 for $3388. It was sold by the seller using the Auction format which is riskier than a Buy-It-Now format in my opinion. There were 71 bids placed by 26 different bidders.
The item apparently was returned by the buyer, because this same Thriller is currently being offered again through the Auction Format. The current bidding is up to $2753 with 21 bids placed and still about 2 days left in the bidding. It is authenticated by PSA/DNA.
The current high bidder looks to possibly be a dealer since he has 28,883 transactions completed. He’s probably looking to buy and then resell at a higher price.
