Michael Jackson Signing Styles in Julien's Tompkins and Bush Sale

On December 2, Julien's Auctions is selling The Collection of Tompkins and Bush. The collection contains 465 lots of Michael Jackson memorabilia, 287 of them autographed.

Michael Bush and the late Dennis Tompkins were Michael Jackson's costume designers for 25 years, during Jackson's most successful period. They were the consignors of the signed Thriller jacket that Julien's sold for $1,800,000 in June 2011.

Almost all of the autographs in the Tompkins and Bush sale are a variation I'm not familiar with. I've only been looking at Jackson's autograph for a few years, though, and we have members here who have collected him for decades, so I'd appreciate your input and exemplars.

If you know Michael Jackson's autograph well, please look at a few images below from the auction and let me know what you think. Even better, browse the auction and upload any similar examples you have: http://www.julienslive.com/view-auctions/catalog/id/77/

Julien's is the world's premier auction house for Michael Jackson memorabilia, so they would know his autograph better than most of us. I'm just surprised I haven't seen this style before.

Thanks for your help.

How many people are out the with the opinion that we have. i just posted on my facebook page to try and gather more that may agree and so far no one believes it. I dont want to fight with friends. They are entitled to their opinion.

Nobody wants to believe that Michael Bush is capable of doing this to Michael.

I know. Dont they remember all the MJ friends who turned on him. No one is immune- even family. Especially when money is involved. he may have been a friend when Mj was here but things change when he is not and your big income is gone. All I hear is he doesnt need the money and he is giving to charity. What, 5% ? Smoke screen.

Maybe Bush thinks they are real and someone else somehow swindled him, switched real items for fakes, etc. Course the implication that he did the sigs rules that out if true
