it's obviously the same reproduced autograph in my opinion,
what is probably happening is that because the slabbed one is under a slab it is probably not being reproduced on our computer screens exactly as it appears in person as well as being a little blurry. It is not a very good scan like ron's scan is and the scan was taken with some thick plastic in the way instead of paper right up against the scanner like I assume Ron's was.
Ron's example was posted online and that's probably where it was grabbed from. If someone was smart, they would have manipulated the scan, stretch it slightly one way, then another to make it look slightly different, but most people don't take the time to do that, they scan and print.
I have seen autographs that I had to do a double take before, they look the same, but it didn't take long to find some small differences to convince me they were not exactly the same autograph. You can't reproduce your autograph two times in a row exactly like that. It's not physically possible and if anyone can show me two the same from any other athlete, I would really like to see it.
but please post your findings, it's interesting and welcome.
