I don’t get why I hear people slamming JSA, to me they’re the industry standard

I'm by no mean an expert on autographs or the different companies, I have sent cards into PSA and the experience was fine. My Dad has hundreds of vintage cards that his brothers and him collected when they were kids (hes 83)I have sent in few to PSA some grades I agreed with and some I did not, just like everyone else. When it comes to autographs I just want to know if by an expert opinion the auto is real. The cards I sent into JSA that I was able to get back in 2 hours I drought would have been any different if I would have sent them into PSA and waited 8 months. JSA was professional and at the end of the day I believe they all make mistakes on autos but they all probably do the best job they can.

Reggie often just signed his first name like this when signing in person in Spring Training, etc.

As for Aaron, as someone stated above, those appear to be TTM secretarials. Hank was belived to have someone else signing his mail. TPAs sometimes mistakingly authenticate secretarial signatures, so it is not surprising that you can find "authenticated" examples that look like yours. There are tons of "authenticated" ghost signed TTM signatures out there by folks like:

"Mrs. Don Zimmer"
"Mrs. Willie Mays"
"Fernando Valenzuela's Personal Assistant"
"Hank Aaron's Secretary"

I have seen the Reggie Jackson first name only signatures. During the later part of Reggie's career, he was known to do that.
