Has card collecting become an outlet for high stakes gambling?

While I know this kid is as close to a can't miss as they come these prices still surprise me when you can get all time great HOFer rookie cards for less than what this card is going for. This card still has SIX days left...

2018 Bowman Chrome Gold Kelenic- https://ebay.us/YGP8ht

Here are just a couple of all time great rookie cards that ended for less money than what this Kelenic is going for. These two players are widely considered inside*the top 20 best baseball players to ever play the game.

1954 Topps Hank Aaron- http://ebay.us/vIBVpr

1955 Sandy Koufax- https://ebay.us/LKGQYY

If it is about investment, the Aaron and Koufax are sound investments that will continue to increase year after year. Kelenic could potentially turn out to be JD Drew. If it's about collecting greats of the game....well they've already acieved that. So how do you make sense of what is going on?
