AutographLive will be buggy tonight while we test code we're developing for it. Everything should work fine within the next 3-5 hours.

Early Michael Jackson Autograph on a Newspaper?

I would like to ask the community about this autograph.

I don't care for it.

Thanks, Steve. I will try to get my money back. I purchased it for 100$.

Mo, interesting and thanks for the info. If he did indeed get a PSA opinion and it came out "Likely Genuine", I think its strange that he didn't mention it or post it in the listing. It would have helped him sell it alot higher.

Its one of Erick McKay's forgeries. 

Here was the full piece.

It was sold on his bluelifesaver account awhile back.

Thanks, Washer. I was wondering where the cut came from. I thought it was a newspaper clipping. Unfortunately he doesn't accept returns :(

When did you buy it.

Washer, I just bought it this weekend for 100$ it had several watchers. Do you have any more Erick McKay forgery examples? Thanks.

I guess the person who bought it from him trimmed it down so it would fit in a small frame.

Heres the thread on Erick, quite a few posted in the discussion.

He forges other artists/celebrities as well.

If you bought it this past weekend, getting an opinion yourself from a reputable authenticator should help.  You can then file a claim with eBay.   By the way, don't be surprised if it does pass, Erick has fooled many.

Unfortunately, the guy does have talent. We Michael Jackson fans would be lost without you, Wascher!
