As a general reminder, the basis of autograph grading really comes down to the degree of strength and weakness within the signature,
with an emphasis on eye-appeal and presentation.

MINT - a virtually perfect autograph - bold writing with the absence of skipping or retracing and must be strong and clear for that particular
signer. The autograph must not only be aesthetically beautiful in terms of placement but it must also be representative of the
common/traditional autograph patterns of that person.

EXCELLENT - The signature, though entirely legible to the naked eye, may exhibit some degree of even fading to the entire signature.
A minor blemish to one of more of the letters may be acceptable if the balance of the autograph is considerably strong for the grade.
Slightly more advanced degrees of skipping or bleeding may be presentand a very slight retrace, by the original signer, may be acceptable.

VERY GOOD - An autograph that is noticeably faded throughout. The autograph must still be approximately 60% visible to the naked
eye. Advanced degrees of the above mentioned defects might be more noticeable at this stage with major eye-appeal issues clearly visible.

GOOD - An autograph that exhibits significant flaws throughout - It may have lost up to approximately 50% of it visible content to the
naked eye. Even under close scrutiny, the entire autograph may not be decipherable but clear enough to determined authenticity.

FAIR - Numerous flaws in signature with over 60% loss of visible content to the naked eye. The signature can be legible for identification
and authentication, but still with a large degree of fading and loss.

POOR - An autograph is one that exhibits extreme loss of eye-appeal and can barely be deciphered, even under close
scrutiny - by experts. The autograph is virtually unrecognizable to the naked eye and even experts may need the
assistance of advanced technology in order to identify the signer. Most of the autograph may be worn away or faded
leaving, perhaps, on a few visible letters or worse. Very few autographs are sold in this condition.
