I'm not a professional authenticator, but I'm pretty good at Michael Jackson. I hate to say it, but the one you posted is definitely not genuine in my opinion. Do you own it or are you considering it?

I deleted the reply you posted where it looks like you were trying to post a video. The third edit button from the left is for posting videos in replies; hte second one for posting photos. If you need more help, LMK.

The autograph you have comes from someone who sells on iOffer (a place usually full of forgeries).  Someone has been also buying them from iOffer and posting them to eBay to try to make $.  Here is a post from a few months ago where you can see more "Jaksul's" - that's what I call them because that's what the wording looks like - instead of "Jackson".

mr m where did you find this autograph, just curious now, as the eBay person who had this same one listed previously, doesn't have any for sale right now, which makes me believe he started up a new eBay account, and I'd like to document it here.  They previously sold under the eBay id of shell_alexa

I brought it from shell_alexa about a month ago. I have an ebay case going right now to get my money back.

I sure hope you get your $ back - sorry you got scammed.  In the future you can run things through the forum here and those who look at MJ's can give you an opinion on it, and then even after that, I'd still run it through Roger Epperson for his opinion.  MJ auto's aren't cheap - so if it seems too good to be true, it "usually" is, though once in awhile a real one will go through fairly reasonable.
