Why?

The "a" has a totally different shape. On the ball, you can see the flow, confidence and fast speed with which the "abe" was constructed. It has a "bounce" to it.

To me, the "abe" on the card appears tentative and drawn. The stem of the second b is especially wobbly looking. No "bounce"... a flat looking signature.

Maybe they are both good, maybe they aren't. It's not my area of expertise. But just using general autograph analysis, it seems to me there are notable differences between the two.
