Default Is any of this Strasburg hype helping build interest in vintage cards?

Here's an interesting story about some guy traveling 1800 miles to the National to get a Topps Heritage Stephen Strasburg promo card http://yhoo.it/c32vWl and it makes the claim that he's getting people talking and buying baseball cards again. Is all of this hype helping the vintage card hobby? If it can get a person to travel 1800 miles to the National, they are going to get exposed (and hopefully attracted) to vintage material while they are there. Is there any chance this brings new collectors to vintage or do you suppose it will just spark the new card market for a while with people hoping to hit the manufactured rarity lottery and pull a 1/1 card of the next hyped up rookie?
