Hi Everybody, 

I really became to appreciate this place during my search for a real Michael Jackson autograph because it learned me what to look for in fakes and how to do my research before buying one. 

It turend out I'm a slow learner though, but that's on me. I still don't own one, but at least I've destroyed several fakes. I'm in the proces of buying one, because of my experience so far I feel really uncertain though. 

So I was convinced I did everything right this time. I didn't rush in to buying. Althoug my opinion isn't worth much it looked authentic to me. At least after learning from people like Wascher, Steve, Lizzie and Sandra Rose by reading these forums I now spot the obvious fakes. I still don't see the difference between a good forgery and a real one though. 

With this thread I want to warn fans and autograph collectors for a specific Michael Jackson autograph because I found out it is printed on multiple items, vinyl covers included. Since it's a copy of an authentic Michael Jackson signature it turend out it fools respected experts as well. The printing looks very good, ink smears included. The item I bought had been listed as a precertified item on RR Auction in 2019. I used a quick service check before buying and I was in the proces of getting a full fledge COA. So I felt really convident. 

However, this is the one I bought:

 This is the orignal source:

 And as you can see on this comparation, they fit nicely on eachother. Here is the original:

And here is it whith the original autograpy layered on top of it with Photoshop:

This autograp apperently is printed on multiple items, so be warned! Here is a example:

So all the best in surviving this snake pit when you're looking for an authentic MJJ Sig. 

I hope I will get mine one day and I hope it will actually feel good. 

Thnx everybody!
