Yup, and it only started very recently and it's been giving me that red flag uneasiness feeling for a bit now.

Used to take a lots of luck and a photographer being in the right place at the right time with a crystal clear photo and the right person having access to that photo, for anything to be convincingly photo-matched.

Now all of a sudden they're matching up equipment to multiple games across large swaths of time...and declaring it pretty definitively.

Sometimes I think they're using the same AI program that JollyRodgersRelics uses to try to convince himself and others that photo of Ernest Borgnine is actually Cap Anson in civvies.
