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.

It will seemingly (assuredly) fall on deaf ears, but you should post your factual experiences on (Darren) Julien's FB page.
I doubt he will listen Sandy, hes good at avoiding when he wants to. Ive written to him before and he answered always so I thought he was a great guy, but soon as you question something he does the mysterious no answer when he cant get you to fall for the lies.
Its amazing how liars cant keep up with the lies. Like know one can follow through. I really think they have been getting away with so much for so long they feel invinsible. Its like the Bank Robber who trys to get that one last big haul and gets caught.
Darren@Juliensauctions.com Try it- nothing to lose.
Great Mike. Sorry about the loss of your friend. He was a great boxer.
Ive been trying to find pics of old items signed before Michael passed. Not saying forgeries didnt take place then, but it seems less likely. Anyweay here is something that sold at Auction in 2007. Not only am I trying to discredit these signatures but trying to find anything that is close. This one is closer than any Ive seen.

Michael Jackson forgeries have been around as long as I've been in the business. We identified a major source of MJ forgeries in the UK last summer, and it appears that his forgeries started appearing on the market before MJ died.
Thanks Steve. I assume its the case of anyone famous, just that the market would be more flooded after his passing- stands to reason. But someone of MJ's fame - I can surely see being faked for a long time. But his autographs never brought that much money before so but when the prices go up the more wolves come to prey.
Bless you and thank you again, Michael. Thanks to you and Steve for having the kind of courage and ethics rarely seen today. You are both appreciated more than you know.
Roger is heading over here now,,,,,
The sad thing is that if you can't trust the signed memorabilia, how can you trust the unsigned memorabilia? It's all from the same source.
