If I had any intention of misleading anyone I would not have put up close up pictures which enlarged his head about 10 times so people could see every wrinkle under his eyes. I think that it is him and my research indicates that it most likely is, but there is nothing you can do with items like this except let people make their own decisions. I went to great lengths with my research on this, and I contacted everyone including the people who operate the Joe Jackson websites and the experts on him and although not all were in agreement on whether or not it might be him, there was noconsensus that it was not him or else I would not have sold it. This photo was shown to at least 50 people before I sold it and the consensus was that it could very well be, but nobody could say for sure 100% one way or another. After all the research I could do and no more experts to show it to, I felt comfortable listing it and I stand behind that. If you do not personally think it is Joe, that is completely fine and others probably agree with you, but judging from all the hours of research I have put in and the countless people I have shown it to, that opinion is in the minority.

All you can do with an item like this is lay it all out there and make sure there are large scans and let people decide if they want it or not based on what they read and see and feel. I tried my best to do that and I think my item description was very upfront about the research I had and the facts that were still missing for 100% verification.
