I say genuine!

Comment by Jacob W. Chewning on November 12, 2011 at 12:06am

There's been a bunch of confusion about these MJ signatures where the J in Jackson swings up into an immediate loop then back down to finish his name. These are NOT genuine Michael Jackson autographs. They were hand signed autographs but not signed by MJ. His production company MJJ Productions were behind these sigs and in charge of non-inperson signing event type things where he would give approval for hundreds if not thousands of "secretarials" to be distributed to all over the world. He would never do thru the mail signings obviously, so if you didnt know him personally, you pretty much got this exact signature written by one of several people in the production office if you even got anything back at all. I bought one as genuine way back when before i knew a bit more and got stuck with it for the longest time....it actualy became lost during a move so someone may have found it and hey, maybe it just made their day. Thats what these sigs were supposed to do in the first place, make people happy and im pretty dang sure they did. Afterall, how would MJ be able to answer the estimated 1 million autograph requests recieved during just his stay at neverland alone. Not counting indiana and hayvenhurst....if i was in that situation, you bet your a%@ i'd get a crew to figure something out for me as well! Sorry its not genuine hand signed by Michael but it is however an official MJJ productions piece of very cool memorabilia, although your post was from a while back, maybe this shed a little light on the dark are that has confused many people for years on this signature in particular. Have a truly nice evening.

@Jacob:

That's really valuable input. Do you have more examples?

Thanks for the info. At least I didn't spend any money on it. So I'm happy about that. Now I just have to find a genuine one......

I have this one ..but it is real... He signed it in his kitchen at the ranch while baking cookies..  It was "To Ray Hill, Love Michael Jackson"  Then he wrote his secret code under it..  If you know anything about MJJ  he has shared a secret code with family and very close friends ever since he was 10 years old.  VERY RARE.  My brother worked for him on the ranch for 8 years... so I had the honor to see him often.. I want to sell it.. Best offer.  It is a color glossy..  Has his thumb print on it. (as he handed it to me)  When I asked him about the code.. he simply said.. put it this way... It just tripled in value.  and he smirked with a giggle.  818 813 5095  Ray Hill.  Best offer.

Hello Ray, I'm pretty sure people would want to see a picture of it before they buy it.

Another thing. I can't help but notice that the autograph on this photo that Bjarne posted looks an awful lot like the MJ signed photo that is being auctioned off on R&R Auctions. I'm thinking that they are both authentic autographs.

Here is another one that looks a lot like this one. This one is from Gotta Have It.

Yea it's real it was just old style signature he gave back around that time.

I hope you do not mind me contacting you all , but I am tearing my hair out

with this one and felt you would be a great resource to give me some

advice. I have seen on Ebay, a dangerous Tour Jacket for sale, it is

signed and it could be by Michael,  I would be really grateful for your opinion before I buy it.

I am gonna hold a straw pool, hands in the air for yes, and no, can you help? pleeeeease... l.o.v.e

Many thanks and kind regards
