Well, maybe some people will collect the "old tech" of today in 10 years or so, but no one is going to be paying big bucks for 1080p video once 4K video hits.
The only reason records are worth more is because they actually sound better than CDs. 8 tracks, cassettes sound worse and while people do collect them, they aren't paying more than $2-3 for a single cassette
Same with VHS, VCD... Laserdiscs are worth a bit more because of how close the quality comes to DVD and the uncompressed audio...

I agree that there's no point investing a fortune in blurays 1080p but what would you say when 4k hits mainstream? Don't build a collection because 8k is coming soon. I see 4k really being big either late next year or late 2013, since lg has there 4k rolling out this year. I won't stop buying blurays 1080p, I'll just get new release 4k
