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.

Another secretarial?? Doesn't have the tell-tale loop right after the J but something about the slant and those "bumps" in "my".... what does everyone think? Is it genuine MJ?

Never mind.. I'm thinking it looks good now. The signature style itself looks right, as do the letters in Michael Jackson. The E in Love. Yes,, it's real.

I do not like that sig. It just does NOT look right to me. Too spread out.
In the June 2011 auction that signature shows up quite a bit.

I am not an expert, but these don't look right, so they should be open to discussion as early attempts to feel out the response.

Michelle, I agree with every one you flagged here in your list.
How sad that we are getting to know Bush's apparent "MJ" sig as well as Michael's genuine signature. That just makes me angry and I don't want to feel angry on Christmas eve (or at all).
