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.

Great tip, Carl. Would someone with a copy of Bush's book please research MLB's comments in book regarding the White House jacket?
Thanks.
Thank you Sandy. Great research.
You should also post your information onto the new thread Steve started here: http://live.autographmagazine.com/profiles/blogs/nbc-investigates-j...
We just can't seem to let this thread go :)
So does that mean what i think it means, or has he left himself a way out by not specifically calling it the white house jacket. Either way the jacket issue should definetly be reported to the news if Steve goes back to the news for a second time. It really is pretty amusing just how deep of a whole Bush has dug himself, and it just keeps getting deeper.
Ha. Very interesting.
Sandy, I'm so sorry, I wasn't ignoring you.. I was still signed in but wasn't looking on here. I will do it right now.
Yes. It is (or was) their business to research, verify and know the provenance of all they sell. They are (or were) professionals.
It's not as though Julien's would blindly just slap everything together willy-nilly on the consignor's word alone.... oh wait, that IS Darren's excuse.
