Hope I'm asking this in the right section...
I've recently bumped into this person's little collection of MJ sigs...
http://billiejean5809.deviantart.com/gallery/
My concern is that all those sigs look too similar... I'm thinking they're signed by the same person, but I'm stumped as to if they're really Michael.
Thank you for any opinions/help in advance.

This item is again up for sale here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/No-Reserve-MICHAEL-JACKSON-SIGNED-AUTOGRAPH...
Last week when this was listed, I immediately asked Mike Frost if he had authenticated it. The seller had taken a picture of what looked to be an altered email from PAAS stating it was genuine. Mike said absolutely not and he sent me the email showing he had told them it was not legit.

Subj: Re: Online examMichael Jackson Autograph/Via Scan:-----------------------------------------------------------:Not Likely Genuine.We are sorry but via examination of the scan, this Michael Jackson Autograph would not receive a Letter of Authenticity from P.A.A.S.Thank you for your trust in PAAS
I then posted the item here and copied their own description - and within minutes of my post, the seller deleted the PAAS photo and immediately took that part of the description out. Then they cancelled the sale: "This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing".
Yep.
Round #3
Relisted--error on the 2nd one too, and now the description took out that Michael is holding THAT album in the listing.

Another item from marc-at2014, of Wien Austria. This is offered on ebay.de (Germany) at 499 Euros start. Again it has a letter of Authenticity, rather like the tee shirt with 'eye' design above.
Interesting date on this letter: 'August 5th of August 1995'. OOOoopsy!
Also, in June 1995 (tee shirt letter) MJ is writing from Neverland, but in this letter (Aug 95) from Hayvenhurst. Did he suddenly move back in with Mom?
Michael Jackson self portrait with autograph, with M.J.J. productions COA
https://www.ebay.de/itm/Michael-Jackson-self-portrait-with-autograp...
You are looking at a rare piece of music history.
MJ was certainly busy, hosting all these guests, drawing all these tees and portraits, and in early June 95 recording in New York, then travelling to see Shaquille ONeill in Florida. In early August 95 he travelled to Paris for a week with Lisa Marie.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Michael-Jackson-thriller-drawing-autograph...
Thriller drawing as well.
A real 100% drawing of THRILLER, done and signed by Michael Jackson.
This is again real, not a copy, nor a reprint.
This drawing comes with a certificate of authenticity from MJJ productions
and has been signed by Michael Jackson too.
The buyer wants to get 2 autographs, one from the drawing, one from the COA.
Please any questions you should have, ask me.
Thanks

Thanks a lot.
Please be free to ask any questions.
With regard to the 'Young Michael drawing, this compares very closely with a piece of artwork by an artist calling himself 'Uncutt'. He is based in New York and goes by the twitter handle 'Uncasso'. I have compared his drawing / young michael design with the 'Young Michael' in the item being sold by marc-at2014 above. I believe that the drawing being sold as 'signed by Michael Jackson' is i reality a copy of the 'Young Michael' design by Uncutt. Which is important, because I believe that Uncutt was not producing this particular design before November 2012, and possibly much later.
Here is the link to the indiegogo fundraiser for Uncutt:
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/my-1st-solo-artshow#/
Here are the main points of similarity between the 'Young MJ drawing' being sold by marc-at2014 and the Young MJ design by Uncutt. Also compare these points to the actual photograph, and consider how much of a coincidence for 'Michael' to have made the same design / drawing decisions as Uncutt, from the same photograph: (Points of similarity with Uncutt have been outlined in green).
'M' shaped shade at side of ear
shoulder strap
shading above the eye
collar shape
Location of a dimple on the chin
The curve of the forehead
Shading in the angle of the neck
Upper lip shading.
I have posted photos of both the comparison, and of Uncutts Twitter page header, indicating his start date on Twitter. In fact he also has an Indiegogo fundraising page which is undated but indicates that artwork was due to be prepared in 2014 for his first exhibition.
The original photo is also below for comparison, as it has not been included properly in the comparison above:
