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.

Monty,
Roger Epperson, who pre-certified that photo for RR, does not consider that genuine anymore. That sold in March 2010 and more and more in that style have since appeared, along with a similar style, from a source in the UK named Andrian Longden. Here's a link to the entire discussion, largely about MJ autographs from that UK source:

As you probably know, sometimes it takes a while for good fakes to be discovered.

So the example above in the style shown is now believed to be a fake. Thank you for the information. It IS a good fake.

Monty.
Please this has already been discussed. I have stated my position and told you about that photo and now you are saying I tried to embarrass you. I am sorry Monty but you do not need any more help with that.
I have been traveling all day and this is not a vacation. I just arrived at my hotel and I have to see this nonsense again. I am just trying to help and it would be great if you can use your time and energy with some helpful solutions to prove this auction should be postponed.

Michael Frost,
Can you please do your assessment/statement on the Neverland handkerchief next?
That one is one of the mist laughable for me...the star at that end is especially horrifically fake.

As an example of Bush handwriting, this is a note written in my book by Michael BUSH at his signing last month.
(no idea what it says! anyone can tell?)

ugh where is the option to post a picture? This board is not iPhone friendly.

You can't post a pic in a discussion by iPhone or iPad yet. But you can upload it into Photos and paste a link.

Thanks for posting the Bush book inscription, Sandy. I'm on iPad, but when I get to a computer I'll post it here.

Does anyone else have a Michael Bush inscribed "The King of Style" they can upload the signed page of? As many as you can find...at least 15-20. The more the better.
