I doubt it based on the type of media. Comics are printed on paper which can fall apart and rot away while games are pressed polycarbonate that can last hundreds of years. Games will last longer than comic books
No, nor will they rival baseball cards' values. There is collectibility in video games, but not to the extent of high-end comics.

The one thing that will keep video games below the collectibility of other media over time is that they become obsolete. 50 years from now, you most likely won't even be able to buy a video display that you can plug modern game systems in to.

Game batteries die. Metal connectors rust, and discs get scratched beyond repair. Games can last a while. but hundreds of years is pushing it.
