You may want to check the prices on some of those. The game is still quite popular, and has keep the market prices high as newer players become interested in some of the older stuff like Arabian Nights.
Due to some of the current decks like "dredge", for example, has sent the price of "Bazaar of Baghdad" into the $250-$450 range, and "Library of Alexandria" has always been in the >$200 range.
As for Antiquities... a "Mishra's Workshop" is likely more useful than the traditional power-9 right now, and is /easily/ worth >$400.
Given how little a single card weighs, some of those might just be worth their weight in gold. Even without those very-high-price cards, though, there's a lot of newer players that just want stuff from those older sets in general. It's pretty rare to see <$1 cards like you do with the newer sets, and /many/ are in the $15/25 range, so a couple boxes of cards could easily be worht a decent amount.
Re: this article - like any investment based on fads and nostalgia like comix, MTG cards, tulips... it's only the people that got in at the beginning that get much profit out of it. Jumping on the bandwagon later on when it's now known to a lot of people is never going to work - there's obviously a lot of others people doing the same thing, and saturating the market.
Those of you luck enough to have bought in before it was big, though... can get really lucky some times.
I think all the beta dual-lands a good friend of mine likes to play with make any deack their in >$20k O.O
/i only found out about the game during The Dark, which is just barely on th eline of "too recent", unfortunately.
