Signatures

Signatures are an aspect that some items can have, it can be detected with the Signature Detector, a tool unlocked at the first week of the game.

### General knowledge about signature types:

* Signatures regarding people who have made discoveries, are scientists and anything similar are all listed under ‘scholar’.
* The artist tag covers actors, potters, painters and musicians.
* Presidents are listed as politicians.
* Jewelers are tied to the brand that they work for, which you can double check to ensure authenticity.
* Anybody that works with AVAC are considered ‘activists’.
* If you encounter any item with an unidentified signature but has an autograph(example: ‘used by Nightingale’ can be seen when you hover over the item ‘Nightingale’s socks’) is considered a historical figure(?) which is a X10 bonus to price.

### Signatures and artwork relations:

Artwork appraisal is involved when the item is a 2D/3D artwork or a musical score.

If a signature isn’t present at list of known signatures, you can declare it a fine, poor or failed piece.

If the signature is present at list of known signatures, the base appraisal would be great piece. However, you will need to check on the artist celebrity’s description to check if the art was made in their ‘heyday’ (best time of their lives) or if the artist is dead.

Dead artists will have two years listed to the bottom left of their description box, e.g. 2018~2077 instead of the usual 2018~. Artists who have recently become fixies will also be considered as dead.
Art by dead artists will always be considered as ‘work by a deceased artist’ regardless of if the work was created in their ‘heyday’ or not.

### Detecting signatures discrepancies:

Always check if the signature fully matches the one shown in the reference book. Sometimes the signature will have some discrepancies that will cause them to become an ‘unidentified signature’. This is especially important for jewelry as it always means there is something wrong with the item.

### Removing signatures from items:

During the play through, Bokho Park will offer his service of signature removal, charging 15V for each one, he will take only the ones that he considers detrimental to the item (ones with a threshold of negative value), the player can't select them individually to send to him at the moment.

He stops doing this service later on the play through for story reasons.

### Customers aren't accepting some signature cards:

Some signatures change over the course of the game. You can find those signatures in the "updated information" which is in the bottom right of the front page of the manual. A few customers also won't allow you to attach negative value cards no matter what, which is a way of the game to incline the player to push the Avarice Criminal button.
