Old Autograph Photo of Dale Earnhardt

Anyone have knowledge about Dale Earnhardt's signature when he as starting out as a rookie? We have this old photograph of him that was signed but the signature is different from later in his career.

We believe this to be a rare find as we can't find anything like it out there and not sure what to make of it.

Top pic is early 80's sig.

Drew's is a late 80's/early 90's sig.

Both authentic IMO.

His biography says he went to someone to show him how to sign autographs better in the late 80's. But the one thing that always stayed the same was the Big E on his last name.
