There is about zero reason for TLC to preserve the collectible value of

has never presented their sets as collectors items.

Wizards of the Coast has never really had any reason to preserve
"value" of old OOP trading cards.

Yet do you really think it'd be a good business idea to rerelease all
the powerhouse cards?

WOTC/Magic is different. The cards are promoted as "collectible" and
"limited edition". The collectibility is actually the primary marketting
thing behind the game.
