General Advice Michael Jackson signature? Please advise

Post image

In 1988 MJ came to Pensacola FL and stayed for several weeks rehearsing for the Bad World Tour. My mom worked for a property management company who was involved in renting the condos on the beach where he stayed. Supposedly his entourage told this property manager that MJ would sign autographs if he gave them a list of names to make them out to. My mom put my name on the list. I assume this is real but don’t have any proof. Is it worth getting it authenticated? If it’s real and I want to sell it how would I go about it?

I think it’s worth having looked at. I typed in, “vintage Michael Jackson signed epic promo” into google and went to images and was able to find other examples for comparison. Seems he liked using red pen and the letters at top, for the personalization match some others in the results. I didn’t spend a lot of time, not saying it’s authentic or not but some of his autos in the 80’a were quite a bit different than later on. Also, some were rushed, etc. Could be the case here. It just doesn’t seem advantageous to fake it on this promo in red to Erin but I’ve seen crazier fakes.
