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.

I only see one possible genuine MJ signed item in that auction, and even that one looks shaky on some letters very much like the shaky letters on the sketch (page 114 of the catalog).

Who are you following on twitter that's tweeting about this? I'd be interested to listen in to the buzz.

Lady Gaga (bidder 462) also bought these signed items according to the person who assembled the earlier list (who went to bed after lot 956):
- 588 signed jumpsuit ($5,625)
- 611 signed loafers ($10,000)
- 663 signed jumpsuit ($5,000)
- 680 belt ($10,000)
- 663 signed jumpsuit ($5,000)
- 698 magic jumpsuit 2 ($43,750)
- 815 Road case ($5,625)
- 835 signed jacket ($8,750)
- 852 signed hat ($11,250)
- 854 belt ($7,500)
They total $112,500. According to my math, that makes Lady Gaga's total autograph purchases over $555,000 up to lot 956.
