I'd love to see it too, and would be willing to work on it. But I am not savvy enough to program it. Data entry would have to be on an individual basis. Verification of graded cards on the honor system??? Maybe.
Importing data from existing registries to combine them would probably not be accepted by PSA, SGC and BVG, and if it could happen, everyone would have to maintain two or more registries. My Monster set is 17% raw. We could post scans and let the group evaluate and grade the raw cards. Oh my this is getting complicated, but if there is some computer know how out there and interested parties to develop the ground rules, it could happen.
Having said all this, having a #1 or #2 rated Registry Set has never been nor will never be an aspiration of mine. Combining all the grades from three companies my spreadsheets tell me that my set is roughly a 3.5. My raw cards if graded would drag that number a bit lower. For now that knowledge is good enough for me.
