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.

"Michael Jackson had worked with Julien’s Auction in the past to comprise his catalogue boxset for the items at Neverland, as well as a go between to source rare memorabilia for his personal collections."

That is a distortion lie.

Michael Jackson was in Bahrain when Tohme Tohme allowed Darren Julien to take Michael's personal property out of Neverland without Michael Jackson's knowledge or consent. Michael had to take Darren to court to get his property back - and he won the settlement AGAINST Julien thug.

BTW, here's an excerpt from 2009 Declaration of Tohme Tohme in Support of Michael Jackson v Darren Julien - check out Darren's "ethics" here:

Michael Jackson has been preyed upon by Mr. Julien for some time (in FULL accord with the "estate").

"Museums have rejected these items numerous times over and the prospect of placing these items in a permanent residency would be a costly and strenuous affair that no individual could take on alone."

So it'll cost too much MONEY $$$$$$$ to create a Michael Jackson Museum - is that what I heard, Mr. Branca say via one of his many mouthpieces?

Steve, as michael jackson long time fans that became friends with him we are siding with those who speaks the truth, and today's agenda makes us side with all of those who found those forgeries so obviously fake. (thank you to speak the truth and let us spread the word btw)

To sum up the situation, people will buy this : "thanKs, MicraeL JaksoL, Xx" ... Around 1500$ by 200 items... *cynical*

wow, and julien is claiming you are the villains?

(third post, I'll get this right yet)

Geez Louise. Now I see how/why she was removed. I missed this that first night. This must be such a harsh, rude awakening for you Steve. To see the operatives at work. I'm so sorry that happened. And also to TeamMichael, though sadly they have grown all too familiar with the baseless hate. She clearly was aided with a PR script in formulating this delusional hate attack of lies. We all saw she was not able to write/communicate like this that first night. Then we had a few more deflectors enter, but our moderator removed their nonsense too.

You've been amazingly level-headed and professional in this whole thing, Steve.

Thanks, Wendy...

I'll be honest. I used to think it was all worth it. But after no one found my comparison of MJ liking his women in Versace to me liking mine in 600 thread count Egyptian cotton funny, I've been having second thoughts.
