I need a larger image than that, but I am not comfortable with it. Can you get a bigger one?

Thank you,Steve for taking the time to answer. I believe the reason the photos are coming out small are because I am using my cellphone. I should be back home wednesday. I am currently on vacation at the Palms in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Something Roger Epperson told me about Michael Jackson was that he held the pen pretty high up and swung it sort of like a pendulum as he signed. That meant that the high and low points would typically be lighter, less heavy, then the other parts of the signature. Plus the signatures would trail off at the end of the line. They wouldn't stop abruptly and quickly like these, or curve back up.

While this autograph looks pretty good, shape wise, I don't think it's a safe buy.

Michaels autograph is still reasonably well priced, being such a huge artist i thought his signature would be higher.

You think so, but he signed a lot.

Hey Steve,

I found the following autograph filmed by a TV station in 2005.
It has a curve back up as well:

Did he change his style in the 2000s?

Roger seems to always have 3 or 4 mj autographs, so there must be heaps around.
