Default PSA population report for photos - doable?

Would be cool if PSA started a population report for photos. I realize of course (a) there is no way in the world they could have a population of all photos and (b) the "grading" so to speak, would be their 1-4 typology scheme. But seems like they could have a registry of how many unique examples of photos they have authenticated for famous baseball moments. Willie Mays WS catch. Ruth farewell shot by Fein. Gehrig 1924 spring training. Jackie leaving Ebbets Field in cool camel hair coat after first game. Maybe 400-500 others. Well known shots. If they mark these all now with some authenticating technology seems to me it wouldn't be that difficult.

Another obvious criticisms would be that many people don't authenticate every photo, and there are probably collections out there of archives yet to be discovered. But you can say that about cards too.

Maybe logistical hurdles too significant. But would be cool to have some semblance of a head for rare photos.
