Curious why technology would NOT be better than what we have now?
It would clearly be better. The eye appeal point is, frankly, stupid. That's the one thing we definitely don't need third party graders to tell us.

Maybe it's good for the new generation to learn condition all on their own. Who knows??

According to the article, "Crenshaw's company has a 96% accuracy rate on predicting what Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) would grade a card."

I call BS. We all know PSA is all over the place with their assigned grades, and with their new, inexperienced workforce, the grading is no doubt even more unpredictable. I would be surprised if they hit 80%.

maybe they're not so unpredictable with their "best" customers?

ESPN sucks. I turned them off the second they felt the need to make every aspect of sports political. The last thing I want to watch is "agendized" sports.

Bad reporting as well. Not even a mention of the alteration scandal, and the hobby's real need for AI technology. Quoting PWCC, Probstein and PSA as reputable sources doesn't add to their credibility either.

+1 , haven’t watched them in years and don’t plan on it in the future.

I agree. Every time MLB goes political, I figure out new and creative ways how to not give them my money.

As for ESPN, they shredded their credibility long ago.

To this post and the others like it above: Do you guys not see any irony in gratuitously throwing a political "stick to sports" jab in a thread that has nothing to do with politics, about an article that has nothing to do with politics?

Same here - I will suffer through ESPN when one of my teams is on (a few times per year) - but my days of sports center, espn.com etc are long long over.

God every post you make just makes me think you are more of an asshole than the last one did. Their level of ignorance, arrogance and just plain folly is staggering. And nobody can beat a dead horse like you can.

I completely agree that ESPN sucks, but I don't understand what you mean by the second sentence. How do they make "every aspect of sports political"?

Maybe it's a .96 correlation? That wouldn't be so tough if they're submitting a lot of lower condition vintage cards. Or maybe it's just 96% are within 1.5 points or something like that.

I think they are only sending in ultra modern. Maybe he means that 96% of the cards are 9 or 10 and 4% are 8.5 or less. No way they are getting 96% exactly right.

I bet I could predict a 4sc sub with 100 percent accurancy.

Default What $300 gets you......
PSA logged my card on 4/13/21 and the grade popped today 4/15/21.

I think my card jumped 10 million other cards including all of Bradley Crenshaws submissions! lol

Peace, Mike

Yes, I agree. The variation in grading appears to be higher than 4%

Yep. Has to be bullshit when a 9 is equal to a 10 especially with modern era cards.
