Michael Jackson Autographs and Memorabilia
Origin: White fedora from Mr. Michael Joseph Jackson's personal wardrobe worn by him in one of his music videos, hand signed by Mr. Michael Joseph Jackson himself. This fedora is part of my extensive Michael Jackson collection. This specific fedora was part of Mr. Michael Jackson's personal wardrobe and is said to have been worn during the making of one of his music videos. Due to it's color and style I would have to assume that Michael Jackson wore this fedora in his 'Smooth Criminal' video, as this is the only video, to my knowledge, where he wore a white fedora. This specific fedora is hand signed by Michael Jackson, on the underside of the front brim, in what appears to be black marker. The inscription reads, " ALL MY LOVE MICHAEL JACKSON 1998 OW ". This specific fedora has Michael Jackson's name printed in gold lettering on the black rim that circles the inside of the hat, and through my research, and knowledge, this marking is a clear indication that this fedora was indeed part of Michael Jackson's personal wardrobe. Through my research, and knowledge, I learned that even know there are other fedoras Michael Jackson has signed, only fedoras that were part of Mr. Michael Jackson's personal wardrobe had his name printed in gold on the inside rim.
Origin: I went to school with Michael Jackson (pop artist) in 1973. We were both 14 years old. It was a private school called Cal Prep, in Encino, CA... right down the street from Michael's house. There were only 90 students at the school in grades 7-12. Michael and I had an art class together. He drew a lot of faces and I asked him if I could keep this drawing of Charlie Chaplin (I also have another drawing of an old black woman's face that he signed). I took it home and my father told me to have him sign it - so he did the next day - in black crayon. I've kept both drawings, but this one of Charlie Chaplin is my favorite.
NOTE: these two items were authenticated by me over the past several years. It would be interesting to see what price these items would bring in the current market...Lon

On the autograph on the white fedora, from what I've read, following his name he would write "1998" draw three circles, and feature an arrow pointing to the right. He did this prior to 1998 as a way of authencating his signature. People have speculated it was Illuminati related, but I think it was just Michael adding something different to his autograph.
Nice piece, I own the actual white fedora worn by MJ in his famous video Smooth Criminal from the film Moonwalker.
