Maybe he left out a decimal point.

.5 or .6

If you cant see it you cant rate it.:(

I would hate to try to authenticate something like that and I know I am not qualified to authenticate any auto.

he rates them a 5 or 6 the same way the big services grade autographs, he guesses.

autograph grading is the biggest folly since card grading. just another revenue stream for them to suck your money out of you and not provide any tangible service. A real dark, nice autograph, gee i wonder if its a ten?

I saw that auction earlier and was wondering the same exact thing. :confused:

To me, it's like asking a used car salesman how he would rate a car he's selling. What do you expect him to say? I mean seriously, the guy actually provided some pretty clear photos, which makes him an overachiever by eBay standards. What is the point in asking him to put a number to something that you can clearly see and judge for yourself? Is anyone really going to base their decision on that rather than the photos?

"Gee, I was trying to figure out which photo showed the signatures, but if he says they're at least a 5 then I'm all over this one!" :eek:

Doubtful the questioner could make much use of the information anyway:

"hello if you were to give the autos a 1 threw 10 what would your opioin be them??"
