Not many "current gen" comics are worth any money. The reason "older" comics are worth money is because only a few people bothered to collect them or keep them in good condition. Now EVERYONE has that in their mind, and there's no scarcity.
I'm sorry, but you just don't understand the market at all. Even most of the "limited print" comics (which this is really not) aren't worth more than $10, decades later.

Exactly. When I was in grade and high school I read and collected comics. I assumed they would be worth a lot later on. Now 20 years later most of them are worth, literally, a couple of dollars. I have the death of Superman issue, unopened in the black bag that everyone assumed would be hugely collectible and it is may be worth $10-$20.
Turns out the most valuable comic I had was the two issues where Todd McFarlane took over Spider-man. His first issue and the next issue which was the first appearance of Venom I was able to sell for about $125 each a few years ago. Everything else just isn't valuable because there were so many copies of it.
The same goes for baseball cards from that era. There are so many out there that most have little or no value.
