Hi! Would really appreciate your opinion on this Michael Jackson. Do you think it’s real or fake?

According to the seller it has a positiv quick opinion from Roger Epperson.

Thanks for helping!

It does look like his autograph to me but wary of those later signatures, seen so many of that style that are no good too many forged items. I wouldn't touch it unless you can get Roger to cert it or a third party to authenticate it to protect your investment. That's my opinion/advice on this one my friend 

I agree my friend, it’s a tricky graph to say the least. But I also know there are some very knowledgeable members here, so hopefully they’ll help out!

Hi Cogo,

It's hard to tell for sure from this image, because the entire thing is low-resolution, but the autograph appears to be signed on a very low-quality photo, a screen-resolution one downloaded from the web. That legitimately happened sometimes, but it's a warning flag—and also makes the signed photo less desirable. Are there better images you can post?

Hopefully these are better Steve, thanks for helping!


Hi Cogo, I can't tell you if it is a genuine signature. But if it is, it must have been signed after the year 2006. Fujifilm uses this logo from 2006 until now: https://www.fujifilm.eu/eu/about-us/company-profile/corporate-brand...

Maybe this information is helpful... Kind regards!

It's not authentic imo.

Thank you MiS, appreciate your help. 

The same to you Yannick! Ok, some mixed opinions so far. Hopefully other will help out!

Thanks for the additional pics, Cogo. The autograph looks real to me.

Pen pressure is unusually uniform but I think that's because MJ didn't sign it as quickly as usual. Pressure is usually a little lighter at the top and bottom of large letters—something Roger Epperson showed me in 2009. I thought it might be because it was signed on an inkjet printed photo, which is not as slick as regular lab prints, but this is not on inkjet photo paper. It's printed on high-quality lab paper.

The actual photo signed looks to be a lower-resolution JPG downloaded from the web, which decreases its value significantly.

The fraudsters are getting better and better at printing copies of genuine autographs on photos, pickguards, etc., so I'm especially suspicious these days. I think you're OK here, but at a low price due to photo quality. Let's see what others say.

Thank you Steve for a really quality answer. Much appreciated!

But to be honest, I have no qlue about the price levels for Mj photos, so I must think this thrue.

This item is listed by Wide Savannah who is a forger who used to go by Marcelo in here. 

Thanks wascher, but it’s actually listed here in Sweden by a seller who normally sells genuine stuff.

A mix-up or is something fishy going on here?

This autograph is offered by Wide Savannah as well:
