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.

Prashant,

Good job! Thank you for posting those links! Is anyone checking eBay worldwide for others?

If someone would post a screenshot of each of these listings, we'll be able to maintain a permanent record. Please capture them from the top to the end of the description box, and upload them full-size as high quality JPGs. They'll be hard to see in a reply, but when people click on the image it will enlarge to full size.

Unbelievable. What a continued MESS Bush's and Darren's greedy game is causing.

Thomas, I'm so sorry this happened. We are here to support and help you find solutions to this perpetrated fraud. Justice will occur. Let's all see to it.

At 128 pages, I believe this is the largest discussion ever on Autograph Magazine Live...and a lot to read through for anyone just arriving.

When I return in a little while, I'm going to post a new discussion, for purchasers of lots in the Tompkins & Bush sale. The purpose will be to help them decide if their purchases are likely OK or not, and what to do if they have concerns.

Let's keep that discussion tight, and focused on what's in the best interests of the buyers. And that will generally be helping them resolve any problems they might have as quickly and easily as possible.

Be back soon.
