They're not ones that I feel comfortable with.

Thanks everyone. I was wondering if perhaps this was a "style" of autograph that maybe MJ was using around the time period of the History Tour.

I know there is, of course, a vintage MJ style with some nuances within that style. And, obviously, there's MJ's more "modern" style - maybe with some tweaks here and there. But was there maybe, kind of, an authentic style that showed up in his hand from say the very early-90s to the early-2000s?

I know of the "vintage" Madonna compared to the "modern" Madonna autograph. And this happened with Michael. But what about the intervening years? I wish there was an MJ autograph study kind of like Charles Hamilton's study of JFK, although JFK's writing was CONSTANTLY in a state of flux.

Now what I'm sort of calling a "style" here of MJ autographs, I've seen a little out in the marketplace. So could this be the steady style of a forger? I know there's a Canadian MJ forger out there. I need to read about him a little more. Could this be his work?
