<p>My first thought is that there are always differences between an autograph, and a signature. Yours is an autograph, my example is a signature.</p>
<p>23 years can certainly cause changes in signature style. I feel that the "rol" in Harold is spot on, as is the "hn" in Johnson. The rest of it gives me pause. I think that there are two choices here:</p>

<p>A) The 23 year difference has made Johnson's signature more simple, without the sexiness of an autograph. He's not autographing a keepsake here; he's simply closing a letter. His name needs to be legible, without flair or style. Note in yours his nickname is in quotes (a source of pride), whereas in mine, its in parenthesis (just something he's known by, an identifier).</p>

<p>Thanks. 1956. The handwriting seems very different from the one in the book (shown in the jpg at the beginning of this post, but the flow appears consistent. S, y, etc are different, so I am not sure what to think, except perhaps, 23 years difference. Need to think about it. Thoughts on the comparison?</p>

<p>Sure. Mainly to compare to the signature I have on the book</p>
<p>All the players on the book who have signed I have verified. Would like to have 100% verification by having Speed. If you have one, please post</p>
