This is a pretty common forgery style, like you can see for example on the 'sharp' M. Many of them were auctioned at RR-Auction over the last years.

Currently for sale on ebay:

And these two currently on auction at RR-Auction:

Just to be clear, are saying that you believe the current RRAuction Michael Jacksons are forgeries?

Thanks Yannick.  I'd love to hear from any other music or Michael Jackson experts on the group as well.  Neither of these are mine, but I have bought a Michael Jackson item from RRAuction before that was authenticated by Roger Epperson, and both of the lots you mentioned are pre-certified by Roger.

It's not the first time that happens. But in my experience, when someone report the fake items, they usually remove them.

Imo RR-Auction is a pretty good auction house to buy MJ autographs. They have a lower percentage of fakes than other auction houses but very frequently Roger Epperson passes fake autographs like these I posted above.
I went through the RR auction archive and found around 20-30 autographs with the same forgery style.
