ESPN Article on PSA

[Chris-Counts]

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.

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.

Just finished reading, very interesting! The hobby is really upside down right now and I am hoping most shows come back soon. Shows could slow things down a bit and have the chance to talk in person with these grading companies.

and Chris you make a good point - ESPN and MLB have some issues and hope things improve - politics have no place in sports!

I still have serious doubts about AI grading.
Someone here made a serious run at it, appeared to have it mostly working, but only on an I phone? And painfully short on details.

Haven't seen an update in a while. Maybe it didn't work? Real work came back so it's back burnered for now?

It would help for some stuff like centering, but unless you've got a high res scan, there's lots that won't show up.

Likewise!I will not waste a minute of my time watching self-destroying MLB!
I quit watching ESPN years ago.

If you just gotta run political smack go troll Facebook.

As far as the article goes, it was a really crappy piece of journalism for the reasons cited above: when your expert voices are sketchy characters and you present them at face value, you clearly haven't done your homework.
