No.  This is a forgery by a guy in NY named Joe Hendrix.

The signature looks very "forced" and un-natural, and the whole item looks like the "classic" forged money making signed photo. I'd say not authentic, sorry :/

I mean this as a compliment to both so I hope it doesn't come out wrong, but...Wascher is the "Pete Chuka" of Michael Jackson autographs. So you can be assured that this is a forgery.

No worries! :D
This one is very obvious. Even non experts (like myself) can see it's fake :P

Whats kind of ironic James is this forger, is crossing/combining both mine and Pete's territory, and we've been comparing Carrie Fisher forgeries this guy is penning (and lets just say they ugly....)  

No offense either, Petes a great guy! And I agree he's the one for anything Star Wars / Harrison Fords!

This guy is clearly not too bright, treading in Wascher/Chuka areas of expertise. He's just asking for it! If he's smart (which clearly he's not), he'll go try to make an honest living. But, of course, as long as there's eBay and a market full of gullible, novice autograph collectors, he can probably make some decent coin at this con job.

Just so you know what real MJ's autos go for Robert - usually over the 600 range for plain photos and over a grand on albums, some even higher depending on which album (like Thriller can command higher).  

If you want to run some by us here on the forum we'll all try to help you out.
