It's close, but I'd want an in-focus image before giving a solid opinion.

I have a rule: Don't buy an autograph from a photo that isn't clear and large unless you're willing to take a risk that you're buying a fake. Photos are often out of focus for a reason.

That completely makes sense, Steve. I'm very cautious about photos as well...mainly because I got burned on a couple of Madonnas a couple of years ago. The signatures were spot on, but they were high tech copies!

Now I prefer for the PSA or JSA sticker to be on the photo.

I see she has upped her price to 1500 on the item.  When she first listed it, it was 500. Here is the current listing  http://www.ebay.com/itm/MICHAEL-JACKSON-THE-JACKSONS-AUTOGRAPHED-PH...

The other one which is not legit imo she sold it for 250.00.   I'm going to add that one back into this discussion as well.

I'm also going to add the description which was on both items because the old eBay listing no longer shows up-and eventually these won't either:  It would be nice to find out where the 2nd photo really came from because its def not signed by MJ, nor does it look like any secretarial signed pic I've seen.

 

You have the chance to purchase 1 ORIGINAL & AUTHENTIC RARE MINT CONDITION PIECE of ROCK MUSIC HISTORY!!!!


HERE'S WHAT  YOU GET:   One  8" x 10" PHOTO of MICHALE JACKSON AND THE JACKSONS AUTOGRAPHED BY MICHAEL JACKSON

I know this is authentic because I WAS A MEMBER OF THE PRODUCTION TEAM PRODUCING "The Worlds Most Famous Commercial"with Michael Jackson and the Jacksons... and was given this photo by Michael himself.

HERE'S THE REAL STORY:

Before the filming of the commercial, I spent time with Michael and all the Jacksons discussing the commercial.  During this period I had asked for some photos and Michael ended up signing them for me.  I gave most all of them to my nieces and nephews whom I also put them in the commercial.

Friday January 27, 1984 began as an amazing day filled with excitement….  As I said, “I know because I WAS THERE” with all the Jackson's!!!!  Michael was at the peak of his solo career and the concert tickets were given out free as “Radio Giveaways”, so the audience was packed with thousands of diehard Michael Jackson fans. I was backstage standing near the director who was watching the five video monitors, as it was a five-camera shoot, when all hell broke loose.  We were just beginning the second take which unfortunately was the last take, when the director called “action”, the film was rolling and at that same moment all of a sudden the middle video monitor stopped working...went black. This was the monitor focused on Michael's face.  The other video monitors were focused on various stage shots. The next thing we knew there was a commotion on stage and all of a sudden we saw lots of feet rushing in on the other video monitors…  At first, we thought the fans had rushed the stage, as we couldn’t see Michael's head on the blank monitor. We then looked over from behind the curtains and realized that wasn’t the case…. And unfortunately…..the rest of the story is history.

We shot two different commercials during that period.  We filmed the famous “Concert” commercial second and the first commercial was “New Generation”.  That was the one with all the kids dancing in the street.  The lead young actor in the red jacket, Alfonso Ribeiro, grew up to stared in the Fresh Prince of Bel Aire with Will Smith.
