I think so. I don't know that anyone would go nuts over a non-HOFer with a scant record except that the back story of Poole got such a boost from Scorsese's decision to make Bill the Butcher Poole the lead antagonist in the film as against a fictional protagonist rather than his real life nemesis John Morrissey or his actual killer. Most of the HOFers from the same set do not get as pricey as Poole does.
