<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 3568400, member: 27832&quot;]I&#039;m becoming less and less of a believer in the special status of &quot;human judgement&quot;. I think we&#039;re within shooting distance of trainable AI systems that would render judgments comparable to, and more consistent than, the best human expert graders.</p><p><br /></p><p>The problem is that nobody <i>wants</i> consistency. They want to <i>buy</i> coins that are undergraded (so they can pay a low price based on the assigned grade), and they want to <i>sell</i> coins that are overgraded (so they can get a high price based on the assigned grade).</p><p><br /></p><p>Once they&#039;ve <i>bought</i> an undergraded coin, if they ever want to <i>sell</i> it (or even put it in a registry set), there&#039;s a temptation to resubmit it for a higher grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>So: collectors see bargain-hunting opportunities, dealers see upgrade opportunities, TPGs see resubmission income opportunities. Who, exactly, is going to push for a more consistent system?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
