People aren't just wishing it into existence though. Last year, Nat Turner expressly stated that this was on his to-do list after he acquired SGC. He said the timing would come down to resources and priorities, which is why people started speculating that it might be something near the end of 2024 (that goal appears unlikely). However, it sounds like this is currently lower down on his priority list? But it is coming. I do believe that.
Also, there is evidence that it is in the works already. At least on the back end. The first step in building that out would be to coordinate the pop reports to ensure that they are in alignment with respect to how they identify various cards & sets. And those changes are already under way at SGC. One example of a recent change made at SGC to align with the PSA pop report is the 1929 Churchman's Babe Ruth. Previously, SGC put Ruth's name on the flip. Now, they've aligned with PSA in removing his name and only putting "Baseball, USA Sports & Games" on it. It's safe to assume that this change was made to align the databases with respect to which cards count on the registry as official "Babe Ruth cards". The Churchman Ruth is not counted in his master PSA Registry set (even though the Shonen Ruth is lol).
