Authenticity is Everything
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.

Well, unless they all somehow contracted the worst forger in the world to do these signatures for them there cannot really *be* several consignors, can there? I mean, it's not like there's even the tiniest doubt that all of the linked autographs are fake.
The weirdest thing is that Julien has much more authentic looking autographs in the same auction. Does anybody in that joint use their EYES, like, at all?!

One would hope that for a signature this strange provenance would have to be very strong in every case. Which again points towards Bush.

Michael Bush posted this jacket http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1026132933792&set=a.1026... on Feb 09, 2009. No Brooch, 18 buttons. Now belongs to Gaga?

And I'm making a HUGE assumption here (that's ok, I'll take being an ass just for a second). But maybe this is the reason he needed the $? http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1032494132818.2006692.1239... "A work in progress and a money pit".
