The fact that DVDs can be copied cheaply, perfectly, and by anyone kind of suppresses the demand for "rare" discs.

That seems logical, but the thing is, a collector's DVD market already exists. Certain Disney films go for high prices on Ebay, and MST3K the movie can be worth up to $100... and that's for the official DVD, which came in a cheapo cardboard case and had no extras to speak of. And this is despite there being a fan-made "special edition" which is filled with extras!
CD-ROM based computer and video games are sometimes collectible as well, despite how easy they are to copy. Case in point: Sierra On-Line game compilations usually go for $50 when most old compilations only go for $10-$20 at most, and the PC-Engine game Dracula X can be worth up to $100.
