My hope is that buyers like this help further the case for treating cards as an asset class worthy of investment and that the effect spreads to vintage cards too.

Probably true for some of us?
Remember that this is the internet, which is the greatest forum ever conceived for complaining about stuff, so I suspect that’s the bigger factor at play here.
