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.

Mike,
I said the first photo was too small for me to be comfortable giving an opinion on, but that I thought it may be good.

I thought the Thriller jacket was genuinely signed, but maybe I'm wrong.

it's incredibly messy.. surely he would have signed a HUGE flamboyant signature on the back in the style of the school video/ chalk board !!
not this scruffy thing on the arm..

I would really be surprised if the autographs on the jacket weren't genuine. Keep in mind, they were signed on a fabric jacket lining and leather. It's not the same as signing a photo or album.
And if whoever signed the MJs in the Tompkins & Bush sale could sign MJ's autograph so closely, why would the hundreds in the sale be signed so far off?
"Love" looks fine to me on both, especially the "ve" each time.
