I personally despise the idea, but most collectors seem to be mesmerized by PSA and slabbing everything in sight. I'm pretty sure that many of the finest examples of vintage photos remain unslabbed and ungraded... rendering a potential registry meaningless.
A far higher percentage of cards are professionally graded than vintage photos. I suppose the disproportionate ratio could change over time, given ever-increasing prices and the growing prevalence of flippers/investors. The other problematic factor is the sheer number of subtle variations that exist with vintage photos. They simply can't be classified and categorized nearly as definitively as cards.
So I may be in the minority, but I hate the idea of this potential money grab.
