Michael Jackson. Authentic?

Unread post by MikeK »

Hi guys,

I have had this autograph for a couple of years now but am unsure of authenticity. Any Help would be appreciated.

@Ryco Don't just claim an autograph is fake or real, try to back up your opinion with proof and/or some kind of comparison. ;)

@MikeK I will do a comparison for your autograph this afternoon and provide you with some authentic examples to compare it to.

Some recent authentic examples that were sold on autographworld to compare it too.

Unfortunately I have to agree with Rico, I think your autograph is not authentic. The overall look of the autograph is just different, especially the M and the J, and his writing outside of the M and J is very small, illegible in authentic examples but on yours it's fairly large. Also the slant of the autograph is off. Your autograph slants to the right and in authentic autographs it's more upright and even slightly to the left.

Hiya,

As the others said, there are so many people saying they've ''met' Michael and got his auto. Many of Michael autographs for sale are FAKE!

Actually, Michael's autograph has changed dramatically over the years. Look at the cover of his "Thriller" album. That's a copy of his actual signature on that album (at THAT time in his life). His autograph for the last decade or so of his life hadn't changed much, but before that he actually penned legible letters in his signature.

I bet I could count the appearances he made on one hand. He was a reclusive type. So most of his so called IP are BS

I've heard that out of every 30 Michael Jackson autographs on eBay, only 1 is authentic.

If I were to buy an autograph, I would not even think about getting one on ebay.
