Question is in the title. These are formats that I played with when they were introduced, but never took very seriously or watched very closely. I have a pile of schemes and planes and was somewhat surprised to see that they were even worth over a dime per card.
So... what's the deal with these format cards? I'm mostly asking to decide if I want to actually hold on to some of them or just get rid of them since the formats aren't popular at my local gameshop or in my personal play group of friends.

Planechase planes are VERY popular with casual group play. Once again, there are plenty of casual players around the US especially that love stuff like planechase and the like because it adds another fun/random element to a game to make things more interesting whether playing a set format as a group, playing super casual, playing commander, etc, and collectors love stuff like that, because it gives you actual visuals of so many planes and history of the storylines of the game. The abilities are flavorful for the plane, and overall, they are just fun :). Once again, dont underestimate the buying power of casual players and a low-print run item, that sees a sudden huge resurgence in popularity thanks to another product coming out. Low supply + suddenly much higher demand = higher value.
1) The casual crowd is responsible for driving up the values of a lot of cards and merchandise that is otherwise pretty worthless. The Planechase/Archenemy kind of thing is perfect for the kitchen table or break-between-rounds kind of play.
2) MTG is a collector's game. With a limited print run and general unavailability, Planes and Schemes are a nice thing to add to the portfolio or even break out for a game every now and then. This admittedly has less to do with the prices than my first point, but it's still something to note.

The planes aren't worth much by themselves (other than Tazeem).
