I do think there's a small correlation there, but not for the reason you might think.
I do think the higher price point tends to mean that your piece will get directed to the people who know what they're doing, particularly with vintage grading, and are able to take a few extra seconds checking out your piece, whereas the bulk price point tends to be populated by newer graders who haven't graded as much vintage, and have about 3 seconds to formulate their opinion on the grade.
