The principles stated in section 28-3-110 apply to special indorsements.\n(2) If an indorsement is made by the holder of an instrument and it is not a special indorsement, it is a \"blank indorsement.\" When indorsed in blank, an instrument becomes payable to bearer and may be negotiated by transfer of possession alone until specially indorsed.\n(3) The holder may convert a blank indorsement that consists only of a signature into a special indorsement by writing, above the signature of the indorser, words identifying the person to whom the instrument is made payable.\n(4) \"Anomalous indorsement\" means an indorsement made by a person who is not the holder of the instrument. An anomalous indorsement does not affect the manner in which the instrument may be negotiated.","path":["TITLE 28 COMMERCIAL TRANSACTIONS","CHAPTER 3 UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE — NEGOTIABLE INSTRUMENTS","PART 2.
