Authenticity is Everything
Lot of Michael Jackson signatures... real or fake? (Forger Erick Oswaldo McKay, Erick Mckay Burgos) marc-at2014, always-4-fun, bluelifesaver, disneycolector eBay names
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.

1990 A tribute to Frank Sinatra program signed by Michael Jackson table # 107.
Here I have this 1990 Frank Sinatra program signed by Michael Jackson in gold marker.
It comes with Michael's table # 107 (seven being Michael's lucky number) he wrote his M.J. initials in the back of the card.
I believe this is the only book in existence, there were a few invitees and only one book to each given.

This appears to be a COPY of a fake-MJ-signed 'Simpson's drawing by Erick, which was listed on ebay on 2nd June 2024.
This copy is listed at a Californian auction on the Liveauctioneers online platform. It is oddly labelled as 'The handwritten manuscript of the Simpsons signed by Michael Jackson', although the full text description calls it a 'Simpson portrait sketch', with no mention of a manuscript.
The Auction Estimate is given as $20,000 to $40,000, with bidding starting at $300.

THE HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT OF THE SIMPSONS SIGNED BY MICHAEL JACKSON.
Image Size (frame not included): 9 x 5.5 cm (3 1/2 x 2 1/4 in.).
This extremely rare auction item is a Simpson portrait sketch signed by Michael Jackson, featuring Bart Simpson, the core character of "The Simpsons". He is deeply rooted in people's hearts as a "rebellious teenager", with a mischievous look in his eyes and his signature jagged hairstyle, precisely capturing the character's "cynical yet somewhat innocent" personality.The "Jove" sign (with a smiley face symbol) and "M&A" logo in the picture might be the creator's personalized narrative extension - maintaining Bart's "anti-mainstream" temperament while adding unique interactivity through customized elements (such as logos and signatures), as if building a miniature world view belonging to "Bart"...ALL SOLD AS IS, NO RETURN

A large quantity of fake MJ drawings by Erick currently appear to be on sale via Liveauctioneers, under the heading 'Original Goop drawings by Michael Jackson'. The majority of the drawings are single figures, a few are double figures and two include a large group of figures. All are in blue ink, and the single figure drawings are small in size eg Length 5 ins x width 3 ins.The estimated price for the single-figure drawings is $1250 each.
There are a number of 'Letters of Authenticity' photographic images accompanying each drawing offered for sale. as follows;
1. A letter from MJ to Frank DiLeo dated 17 Feb '85, expressing thanks for sending him a 'Goops' book
2.A letter from Drank DiLeo dated 5 May '01,stating that the MJ drawings were a gift to him from MJ, in return for the book
3. A letter to A Friedman from E Finzi dated 16 Jan '15, giving a preliminary estimated value of $960k for 34 drawings
4. A letter to the 'Erick' art collecter JB dated 18 Jan '15,'summarising our activities yesterday' when they met with MJ's 'art mentor' who 'agreed that the drawings were by MJ'
5. A letter from Silvia Orazuela Santini dated February '20, mentioning a previous owner of the Goop drawings in Oklahoma and the 'MJ and DiLeo' letters.
In 2011, E Finzi was named as the appraiser of the 'MJ art collection' owned by the 'Jackson Strong Alliance'.. A subsequent media article advised that E Finzi was not a member of the 'International Society of Art Appraisers' as he claimed to be, when valuing the JSA MJ drawing collection at $900 million. In 2024, the MJ Estate said of the JSA art collection being offered for sale that 'no sufficient evidence had ever been produced that the works had been created by MJ ie that MJ's 'art mentor' had not provided any evidence that the drawings and paintings were made by MJ..

Description: Original one of a kind set of 54 drawings by the king of pop Michael Jackson. These drawings were made by Mr. Jackson after he was inspired by reading a children's book "New Goops". The drawings are accompanied by a signed letter from Michael Jackson to his manager and friend Frank M. Dileo, as well as a letter from Mr. Dileo himself confirming that it was a gift he received from Mr. Jackson and two art appraisal documents.
About the art: This rare collection of original drawings was created by Michael Jackson, inspired by Gelett Burgess’ classic early-20th-century children’s book The Goops. In these works, Jackson personally reimagined each of the Goop characters, blending literature, morality, and art through his unique creative lens.First published in 1900, The Goops taught children good manners and proper behavior through humor, exaggeration, and memorable illustrations. By depicting the Goops’ rude and careless habits, Burgess gave young readers a playful way to understand what not to do.
Michael Jackson’s personal renderings of these characters elevate the Goops beyond their literary origin. They offer a glimpse into the imagination of one of the most celebrated performers of the 20th century, whose artistry extended far beyond music. The drawings reflect Jackson’s lifelong connection to childhood, fantasy, and innocence, making them of both cultural and educational significance.
As original works of art created by Jackson, these drawings hold exceptional value for collectors of music memorabilia, children’s literature, and modern celebrity art. They represent a rare convergence of iconic entertainment history and timeless lessons in morality.
Medium: Ink Drawing
Dimensions: L5in W3in
