Michael Jackson Signed Thriller LP: Real or Fake?

Hi All,

First of all would just like to say what a great forum,
some very interesting discussions. I'm just getting into collecting and only
have a very small collection so far so this is a great starting point!

I purchased a Michael Jackson autograph Thriller LP Flat
framed from Antiquities Of California back in 2009 and after reading some discussions
on some potential doubts with the store would like anyone to give me their
opinion. This wasn't cheap and after reading some of the reviews about
Antiquities of California would like to ask any collectors out there to give me
their own opinion on the authenticity.

I have actually visited the store when on vacation in SFO and this was one of my basis for buying from them as they seemed to be fairly reputable.

Would greatly appreciate anyone's time and assistance!

Thanks

Marc

I'll point you to some exemplars here later, but would you mind taking a crisper image of the autograph itself? That will make it easier to see how quickly it was signed. Thanks

Marc,

Thank you...that came out perfectly. I've cropped out the signature and I'm replacing your photo with two I've made from it, larger and closeup.

Hi Marc and Steve, here is another Thriller which I know for sure is real. I thought you might be able to compare yours to this one. I have other Michael Jacksons if you want to see more.

Anne,

Thanks! I agree with James below: Yours is a beautiful example of a 1980's MJ signature.

While it's not a good comparison to authenticate Marc's style autograph, it's signed where Jackson almost always signed Thriller albums.

Though Anne's Michael Jackson exemplar is real, it is vintage and is not the best comparison point for more recent Jackson style sigs. The album signed in silver however, is not real.
