Michael Jackson signed "BAD" LP

This is likely Michael Jackson's second-most sought-after signed album. This particular "BAD" album was originally purchased from R&R Enterprises (rr auction) in 2001, roughly 8 years before Michael's sudden passing and the crazy frenzy for the autograph of this cultural icon really took off.

The signed album comes with the original sales receipt from 2001, plus the original COA from R&R Enterprises and Bob Eaton. There is no picture of the album on the COA, although it is noted on the COA that the album was signed on the front in silver.

I don't know what year it was signed, but obviously it was sometime between 1987 and 2001. I think I am rightly assuming there were fewer forgeries of MJ items by 2001, eight years before he died. Of course, that does not mean this is authentic. It is amazing to think that in 2001, you could get this for $103.

What are your thoughts on the authenticity of the autograph? Was R&R authenticating generally good in 2001? All opinions are appreciated.

RR was no stranger to questionable music autographs in the early 2000s. I wouldn't buy this for the $103 it originally sold for, much less the going rate today. If the seller is not the original buyer he might be stuck with it. RR's policies are pretty hazy when it comes to their guarantees and I haven't been able to get them to respond to a single email, so there's that.

Ok, thanks Mike. There seems to be a consensus building here. I feel pretty confident on some MJ items. On this one, I was a little "iffy". But since RR has had a pretty strong rep over many years, I thought this might not be a bad buy, no pun intended. But opinions have certainly been turning thumbs down.

The verdict is in. I was still toying around with the idea of getting this, because I had found a couple of JSA authenticated pieces that had a pretty similar example.

Finally, I asked Roger Epperson at Wascher's suggestion, and Roger said NO. So I am done thinking about this one for good. Thanks to Roger and Wascher and everyone who opined on this one.
