The problem for lots of comics are that the publication numbers were so high that demand may never be there for them.
Ex - Stuff like X-Men (1991) #1 or the Todd McFarlane Spider-Man #1 had incredibly high print runs to where you can still probably get originals, not reprints, from bargain bins across the country.
Stuff with a much lower print run? That is different.
Titles like GI Joe and Transformers have a surprising amount of value because those books were aimed at a demographic that generally didn’t keep their books, let alone in pristine conditions, have had a spotty history with regards to reprints due to being licensed properties, and have devoted fanbases.
