This article closes the cycle of characterizations of greedy-like bases in the “isometric” case initiated in Albiac and Wojtaszczyk (J. Approx. Theory 138(1):65–86, 2006) with the characterization of 1-greedy bases and continued in Albiac and Ansorena (J. Approx. Theory 201:7–12, 2016) with the characterization of 1-quasi-greedy bases. Here we settle the problem of providing a characterization of 1-almost greedy bases in Banach spaces. We show that a basis in a Banach space is almost greedy with almost greedy constant equal to 1 if and only if it has Property (A). This fact permits now to state that a basis is 1-greedy if and only if it is 1-almost greedy and 1-quasi-greedy. As a by-product of our work we also provide a tight estimate of the almost greedy constant of a basis in the non-isometric case.
