It's fine.

1958 was a big year for Aaron employing that style of A. What's really interesting is that it really doesn't appear with the same frequency in even 1957 or 1959 examples! It reared its head from time to time, but he loved using it in '58 for whatever reason. It's like the autograph that DiMaggio used in 1941. It features that really nice, stylized J which he made almost no use of before or after his historic season. It's my personal favorite of his variants, made doubly attractive that when you find one, you're almost assured it's a 1941 example!

Cobb using his own pen makes far more sense at a banquet table where he could simply pull it out of his jacket pocket, rather than at a different type of event, such as at a game, where fans would be handing pens and pencils along with their items to be signed.
