I don't see how this is effective except for perhaps an edge case of a card that doesn't come to market with any frequency, and there is nothing else to go off of.

It's a piece of information. Not perfect, but better than nothing. Just like OBO listings on eBay. Take that information and put it together with information from other sources and you can generally get an estimate of a cards value.
