This thread is sort of a mirror of the grading process. You send in a beautiful card to PSA, wait forever, and it eventually comes back way lower than what it 'should have' been. And there's no explanation as to why the grade was 'lowered' to the number on the slab. You are left cluelessly holding a plastic slab.

With HOF candidates, you present statistical (and anecdotal) analysis showing they 'should be' voted in, but they fall short of the required vote totals and some are dropped off the ballot entirely. And again, there are no explanations proffered and you are left dumbfounded.

It would be nice if both processes had some specific transparency to show us why a card got the grade it received, and why the HOF voters voted the way they did, instead of it all being cloaked in a cloud of mystery.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
