"Ok, the amazing find part I would agree with 110%, but how is this 'a blessing' to me, a Christian? I'm asking seriously."
Because it is another proof of the reality and veracity of the Scriptures and the Christian faith.
All historical finds that confirm the testimony of Scripture are greatly beneficial the work of apologists, increases believers' awareness that "these things REALLY DID happened" - and therefore blesses the Church as a whole.

I suppose, but as a Christian, I have never, ever doubted that Paul was a real person, and I bet very few other Christians had doubts that he was either. Plus, it is extremely unlikely that there will be some 'smoking gun' proof that this really was Paul's tomb, unlike say some inscription on an Egyptian mummy's tomb.

Nonsense. The faithful don't need proof and the faithless won't believe it.
