Yep. "Registry Sets" based on a weighted scale is the same thing that was done for coins and comic books. It also helps create brand loyalty because to participate in the registry, the item has to obviously be slabbed and graded by the company running the registry.
Registries need a grading component to work, and I am sure this is why autograph grading has been introduced in addition to basic authentication.
What the hobby really needs is rich guys bragging on chat boards... "My Babe Ruth ball graded an 8 and yours is only a 7! Get a life, LOSER!!"
