Absolute Crown Jewel of my Michael Jackson Collection! ^_^

The other MJ auto I have is on a fantastic 11"x14" photo of him from his Thriller days. Basically the same photo as this one:

Not the same signature of course But the same photo.

Yeah, that was sort of in the style of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band wasn't it? I remember that.

I might still be collecting autographs today if it wasn't for anime cels and sketches. Wish I had bought more things in the past back when they were cheaper. Micheal Jackson's autograph was pretty high demand even back in the 1990s (meaning it wasn't easy to get without paying a decent sum or what was considered a decent amount at the time).

But autographs really cheap back in the 1980s. By the time they come out with an Official Price Guide, hobby prices have already gone up quite a bit. And that was what got me interested in autographs...seeing the first official price guide in the bookstore. It was that and seeing a couple of celebrity/historical autograph stores in shopping malls out here.

Yeah I've seen that famous Julien's sale that never happened, I was preparing to bid on a couple items when the auction was going ahead. They would have sold within estimate back then and I could have won something.

Not like now where if those items came up for sale would be well out of my league.

Julien's have been extremely successful with Michael Jackson memorabilia since his death, anything and everything sold has smashed pre-sale estimates.

Darren Julien said recently that Michael Jackson is absolutely the most collectible celebrity in history now, even more so than Elvis and Monroe. That's been credited to the unbelievable prices his things have brought since his death.

And he made over $1 billion within a year since his death so that shows the incredible demand at the minute for his music and anything really.

The early Jackson signatures I have though I honestly wouldn't sell for $10,000 for example.

The main reason I bought it was the way it was signed as "Mike" that is an impossible inscription to find. The only other items I imagined are signed that way would be letters and items like that signed off to his friends and associates.

Those items would also be ridiculously expensive

The GEM MINT 10 grading by PSA is like unheard of for something like this too but when you see the item in person it really does look incredible.

Was blown away when I saw it is just the most perfect bold clear set of signatures you could ever buy.

Just thought I'd let everyone know the signatures have now been taken down but I want to thank everyone for the interest in them. I received quite a bit of interest in this since I showed it publicly so thanks everyone.

I grew up on MJ's music so this is something I will cherish always and keep in the family, it's priceless to me
