f - Fair: A plate with major blemishes, scratches, rubs or scuffs that substantially detract from the plate's appearance. The scotchlite on reflectorized plates may be severely discolored. Stickers, if any, may have substantial damage. Unreflectorized plates may have considerable rust. Generally plates in this condition are not desired, even as a filler. Common plates in this condition are often discarded.
