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.

You guys did it!!! The word will be everywhere in the next few hours.

A great TEAM EFFORT as in {TeamMichael} , no sleep for many and tons of work, but all The Media needs is a hook with bait and then they run. AML was the hook and Randy was the bait that they bit.

Thank you Steve for all your time & Randy for acting like a brother. Money is not everything.

God Bless you.

Could he try to clean up his mail inbox like this we could have alerted him way before... just saying. A judge stopped the hollyfield auction, because they acted before.

Also his tweet that medias used didn't help our main concern with the forgery of 300 items.

Now auction is sold it would be good to push him to stop julien from sending those fakes stuff and not charged those who bet on them

Thanks for sharing this. I'm happy to see the coverage. Wish the write up had explained WHY the memorabilia is Bad Bad Bad and why Randy made the brave public statements he made. Hopefully IBTimes will follow up.

The Quote "... our history" , makes me wonder. Was Randy a large part of Michael's career?

LOL-Brandon you are truly proving your ignorance in this forum discussion. The internet is a wonderful thing ; Google Bing YouTube Wikipedia at one's fingertips. Why don't you try answering some of your own questions. Though you don't deserve it, I'll even get you started: Keyword: Jacksons
