Michael Jackson & Heath Ledger signed photos

I purchased these two at The Art Of Music in Las Vegas last year. I was wondering what you think?

I don't know about the Ledger, but I don't think the MJ is real.

I'm sorry, but in my opinion the Michael Jackson is a horrible forgery.

I don't know Heath Ledger well enough to comment either. I don't know if he signed any "The Dark Night" photos. He didn't sign many if he did.

Jason, I'm so really sorry to tell you this, but I don't believe them. Here's our August 2009 cover story on Michael Jackson and his autograph to compare with:

This is not a surprise unfortunately.

Steve, I actually remember Autograph World selling a Ledger signed Joker photo before his death. I believe they may have even had one on their auction site the day he died. I seem to have a vague recollection of the bids/price skyrocketing. So authentic examples are out there. I would doubt there are many of them though.

Thanks, Richard. I wonder what a Ledger-signed Joker would be worth today...REALLY rare and desirable.

It would be worth a lot. I would guess as much as $2000, maybe more.

I remember thinking that it was neat that they got some of the earlier photos (I believe they were tight close-ups of the Joker's face) signed several months before the film was released, and there was already much attention on them even before his death.

Steve, I just did a quick check since AW keeps it's auction records online. The Ledger photo was indeed already listed in their main auction when Ledger died, and the auction ended a few days later at a final bid of $615.

Thanks, Richard. That answers that question. Heath Ledger's autograph on that photo is the one I'm used to seeing. It's like the ones that Mike uploaded, and they unfortunately bear no resemblance to the one that Jason uploaded.

Jason...if you need help let us know.
