And this is why i think grading autographs is ridiculous. It's just another thing to separate people from their money by creating artificial rarity. If someone cant tell a strong autograph from a weak one, they should not be collecting autographs.
At least with cards, there are very well established factors like centering, corner/edge wear, surface wear(includes creasing), color registration, and print clarity that factor into the subjective grade. There have never been any such standards for autographs. As far as i am concerned, there is no need for them.
