Signed vintage is going to continue to grow in demand. Most collectors that become interested in vintage cards migrated over from the ultra modern side of the hobby where on-card autos are a huge chase. All the top cards on that side of the fence are signed. When they transition over to vintage, they bring that love of signed cards with them. The percentage of the hobby made up by boomer collectors who think that autographs deface cards (some of whom even think it should result in an "altered" grade) is getting smaller every year.
Signed vintage will absolutely outpace unsigned vintage over the next 20+ years. Perhaps even by a wide margin.
