You mean i may have bought an authentic Item LOL - BIG Smiles from me

 

History of it is that a woman in Australia swindled a company of $49 million b4 they realised it and she went on spendin spree for 18 monthas b4 getting caught - she bought abot 20 or so Jacksons including 2 fedoras that were then auctioned after she was sentenced - i picked up the above and a 24x36" poster signed love from MJ (his sig)

 

Thanks for your assistance Steve

Great story. Well I'm no expert on these, so someone who knows more could easily point out what's wrong with it. My girlfriend just looked yours and says the M is too wide, but she's an occupational therapist...not a collector. Upload the poster!

Both the MJ "To Mickey" Thriller and Jacksons "Destiny" LPs are authentic. Thriller early to mid 1980's, Destiny is from the last year of his life or so. I'm interested in hearing about this Australian auction, do you have a link to the completed results Grant?

It was a Grayson line auction that finished on 31st 3 2o11 and finished at 9.30pm Aussie time - the only way that i can view it is by going to lost/won items on my personal page. I bid on 24 lost items and won 2 so their was at least 26 albums approx 12 Thriller, couple of Wiz posters, fedora and heaps more - the auction number was 2021907

 

Regards

 

Grant - thanks for reply JA, Steve and of course Steve's girlfriend

James, I'm going to disagree with you for once--I don't think the poster is good. I'm doubting the signature on the Thriller album this morning, but who knows? They both could be fine.

Until experts opine, it's only a collectors' discussion...unless it's super-obvious. An important part of this site is the learning process.

I think there's a lot to be said for collectors and dealers who may not be experts to give an opinion, as long as they say make that clear. It gives them a psychological investment in their education.  I usually qualify my comments by saying I'm not an expert, but I didn't make it clear this time.

Greg,

Where did this autograph come from and when was it supposedly signed?

It has some important similarities to the autograph on a T-Shirt consigned by Steve Manning in the www.gottahaveit.com rock auction starting next week. MJ signed it for Manning in 1997.

Here's the link:
