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.

The Miko Brando excuse does not hold up. Even IF Miko Brando did sign some autographs it is irrelevant because there are enough KNOWN genuine autographs by MJ himself to compare.
I have autographs from MJ over 15 years done in front of my face and Miko Brando was not once around MJ when I was -and I saw MJ every few months if my life for 15 years. So did Justin...Miko is not responsible for our autographs that are genuine and look nothing like the auction.

Right again, Sandy.

Ultimately, you just can't negate personal knowledge, experience and documentation.

Though, boxed in, they sure are attempting to deflect and muck up the water of clarity.

I would like to see any example of Miko Brando's so called Michael Jackson autograph. I have been hearing claims about this for 2 years yet no one well post one of confirm knowledge or proof of this ever taking place. If this is common knowledge and he has signed 100's at a time, it should not be that hard to expose one example.
