Michael Jackson auto fake or real?

Hello everyone. I was hoping someone on here could shed some light on this michael jackson potential autograph. I received 2 of these promo pictures probably 30 years ago when i was around 7 years old. Was a huge mj fan back then. Its a long story but i actually received them from michaels mother. I had it pinned up on my wall as a kid and been buried in a box for probably 20 years now. I actually thought i had thrown it out many years ago. I always assumed it was just a facsimile auto and wish i had the second one still so i could compare, but i gave that one to a friend way back when. Now that im older and getting back into the autograph scene i found this is my storage and it actually looks like a real signature seeing as it has faded quite a bit over the years. To me the signature doesnt look like it was signed by michael though, but seeing as it came from his parents i just have to find out. If anyone has any insight it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Cheers, Bryan

Ps im not sure of the picture attachments are going to work. Doesnt show them in the preview. If not ill post after when i figure it out

Thanks for the replies everyone. That makes sense. I received it in 1987 or 88 when michaels parents came to town. His parents and manager actually came to my parents house for dinner to discuss a business deal that joe wanted my dad to take public. Little part of me always thought it could be real and i thought i had lost it for the past 20 years. Just found it 2 days ago so thought i would check it out. Thanks again for your help!

It’s still a very nice photograph to have and cherish. The signature is Michael’s, technically speaking, just written by a machine. Keep in the collection and enjoy.

Im holding out hope for now. Until i see an exact copy of it. Ive been searching around the internet and seen some very similar ones but all a little different than this one. Surely if its autopen there would be an exact copy out there right?

Not sure i want to hang it with the rest of my sigs though if its not legit. The photo is in terrible shape. Pin holes from me hanging on the wall when i was a kid and creased and discoloured. Not pretty to look at.
