The Safest Marketplace to Buy or Sell Music Memorabilia

This rare autograph cut was personally signed and dated by Michael Jackson on January 17, 1978, and is notable for its exceptionally bold and well-preserved signature. The autograph is made out to “Bob”, adding a personal and period-correct touch typical of Michael Jackson’s late-1970s signing style.
The signature originates from a large private estate collection comprising over 30,000 autographs, assembled by the seller’s uncle. According to provenance details, the autograph was obtained in New York City on the date indicated.
Autograph cuts from this era—particularly those that are clearly dated and display such strong ink presence—are increasingly scarce. This example stands out for its clarity, balance, and confident execution, making it a desirable piece for collectors focused on early solo-era Michael Jackson material.
