Not sure when it happened. But it was probably just to make all his book signings a little easier.

Oh, and at least I can say for sure, he was signing the "J" way around 1995, because that's when I met him at a book signing at a church in Overland Park, Kansas, and he signed two books for me that way. Then a man came up and dumped about 10 baseballs on the table, and President Carter signed every one for this "collector". Carter was super friendly with everyone.
