Thanks much Mike, I will do for sure.

It's certainly unusual in that Aaron apparently put some sort of straightedge paper underneath where he signed his first name, adding the underhanging flourish to the H afterward. There's no denying it's his autograph, however.

I'm racking my brain to recall if I've seen him employ this method in the past because I feel I have. I also have a memory of seeing a photo of Mr. Aaron using this approach. It wasn't something he did with any sort of frequency. Maybe he was having health or vision struggles that day and was just making sure he didn't do a poor job. Robb at Waukesha is great at communicating; drop him a line about this!

I did go back to find some photos from 2015-16 signings and am not finding any corroborating evidence.
