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.

lol jealous about what? this makes no sense at all for Bush to say this. Jealous of all the money he's going to make perhaps?? i seriously dislike that guy right now. he really believes Michael signed all these things doesn't he . he's up to his neck in deceit.

I don't know why he used that word in particular, but he also wrote a response quoting "haters and jealous people" on his page last week when he was being very aggressive with fans posting things he disagreed.

Steve, can you ask Darren when the autographs were signed? In one sitting (if so what month/year) or if it was multiple times Michael was drugged and that "opportunity" was used throughout the years since the autographs date to 80/90's.

Or is your relationship with Darren fried now?

Sandy,

A couple weeks ago, I let Darren Julien know about a forgery a member posted from one of his auctions. He said he'd remove it and said:

"Thanks Steve.  Please always let me know when there is concern.  I always trust you."

Since I told Darren my concerns about the Tompkins & Bush sale, his feelings seem to have changed. I'd say he has no interest in communicating with me, but if he does, he can email me. After what he apparently told DB, I don't trust talking to him by phone.

But Sandy, why even bother following that excuse? I don't know anyone but Julien's who thinks these Michael Jacksons are real. They don't look anything like the Michael Jackson autographs we know.

And here's the bigger problem for Julien's: If these autographs that Bush said Michael Jackson signed for him aren't real, everything Tompkins and Bush has sold through Julien's will be under a cloud of suspicion. And that cloud could extend to what Julien's has sold from other consignors, since we all agree these highly questionable MJ autographs are something Julien's should have caught.

Steve you are raising a good point, as much as noone ever thought of questioning Bush/thompkins integrity, we are now in a big doubt over all of this. 

Me i would like to know how Bush got all those items back from MJ. If roberto cavalli designed (and he did) a michael outfit, MJ paid for it (unless given) but then why would Michael send the outfit back to its creator? 

this looks really weird to me. 

Manu, Bush is the caretaker of these costumes, i suspect its Bush who has been selling many of the MJ costumes via Juliens for many years. This is what Karen Faye tweeted when news of the auction first reached her

Then there is also this, as the Estate executor wrote "foreword" for the book

IMO Bush has signed all these costumes to HIMSELF so no one can dispute ownership,, notice they are all signed to BUSH, not Tompkins,, If Michael did given these costumes away surely he would have signd Bush and Darren on ALL of them,, IMO Bush signed these after Tompkins passed away, so as to show ownership,, ownership by Bush,

does that imply that Bush and estate got in a feud and the estate agreed to give up to Bush (for auction and book) some of Michael's clothes as a part of this agreement? interesting...

That would explain how bush got back all of those UNIQUE pieces that Michael possessed. (which includes stuff that Bush didn't make, and that MJ didn't sign)

Manu, it means Branca is such a snake all he cares about is getting his name all over the place, after all he did say to Mrs Jackson "I am Michael Jackson now" Branca cares about promotion only, he wrote the foreword, Bush was already in possession of the costumes, Branca does not care 2 cents about Michael, its a vendetta he as against Michael, you should read all the post we have on him on our site here, this is all from official documents http://teammichaeljackson.com/mj-estate-fraud Sorry everyone i know its off topic, but i need to answer this,, If you have any further Q's send me a private message here. MJ did not rehire Branca on the 17th, we have posted proof, MJ did not hire Branca full stop, keep an eye on Heal the world Foundation case, bribery etc, its all about to come out, January 13th court docs with be filed,

Amen sister.  

Not off topic as it directly relates to how these hundreds of fake MJ signatures are to be sold off come hell or high water in 4 days, and along with those forgeries will go Michael Jackson's personal (court ordered not to be sold by Darren Julien) property and another huge chunk of his righteous Legacy.  

Even the average observer must note that "someone" seems asleep at the wheel of navigating Michael's Legacy with the dignity, respect, creative excellence, perfectionism, generosity, humanity, ethics, and compassion he was known for.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

In keeping with that, they are selling MJ's gold History outfit which belongs in a museum - a Gianni Versace creation that somehow has a Tompkins Bush label in it.

(Wonder how long it takes to sew in a label?)
