Moderate - Lynch signs frequently but often with a very rushed, minimalist style.
Overall Assessment
A solid representative piece of a Seahawks legend, though the signature quality is 'rushed' characteristic of a fan-signed jersey.

Signature Characteristics
Fast, high-velocity strokes; sharp angles; inconsistent baseline due to fabric tension.

$100 - $175 (unauthenticated), $250+ (if authenticated and jersey is licensed).

Authentication Tips
Look for the specific 'M' hook and the downward slanting 'L' that often trails off.

Red Flags
The bleeding of the ink makes forensic analysis of pen pressure difficult.
