That goes for pretty much any "instant collectible". Im my world, the value of any collectible lies in the fact that it's no longer produced, and the future market for things that are intentionally made for collection is very unsure. Granted, some people collect just because it's fun to collect and there sure are some old baseball cards that bring good money, but if you're buying a Blue Max Luger as an investment you're better off spending the money on lottery tickets.
