The funny thing is, if the company actually goes out of business: it'll halt production. Thereby introducing scarcity, and in a few decades some of them might actually be worth something. As legitimate collector's items.
I'm still salty about selling my first edition holographic charizards, in pristine condition, for $20 when they were worth nothing.
I don't think that's how Funkos or trading cards work. The moment the company goes out of business they lose all value. Without new products the "community" dies. People don't invest into something that has no future.

The Pokemon card mania and the price inflations started only after Youtubers started hoaxing the thing. They also tried to do the same with NES games.
