I find that very doubtful. I think most comic stores and comic readers know they're not going to make a big profit off of most any comic printed this century, those days are long gone. With everyone preserving their comics, low or acid-free printing paper, and eBay making it super easy to find 'rare' issues worldwide, there's just no profit to be made. Even many older comics have lost a lot of their 'value' as people realize (through eBay, for example) that they're just not that rare.
Check out Mile High Comics trying to sell a 1987 UK Action Force Annual for $180:

And two results later, you see the same book for $4.25:

I actually feel bad for Mile High Comics, it was a special treat for me to order from them as a kid, but now they look like a dinosaur who doesn't realize the internet replaced their business model and that tons of people are now selling the same 'super rare' issues.
