Is it worth buying/picking up cards from Innistrad block?

I'm thinking about picking up some cards like Thalia, Guardian of Thraben and Restoration Angel. Then I thought "I'll have a lot points on pucatrade, so maybe I should picking up some other cards like Snapcaster Mage". Since MM2 will not have Innistrad block, would it be wise to pick some up?

Since Innistrad has been out of standard for a while and the prices have mostly stabilized, there is not much economical benefit to picking up Innistrad block cards as they likely won't increase in price for a while. (Modern season price spikes already seem to have happened.) If you specifically need them for a deck you are building, then I guess now is a pretty good time to buy. Currently I am betting on Thalia, Guardian of Thraben to rise soon. If Snapcaster Mage doesn't see a reprint soon, we could also have even higher prices there as well.

Snapcaster Mage spiked through the 40$ roof last month, I don't think it'll go much higher, so it seems worth picking up.

Thalia's an all-time staple for both modern and legacy, and will probably always see play.

I don't think it's worth to pickup boosters tho, not worth it, especially not Dark Ascension.

Innistrad prices are already spiking hard. Even the sideboard only cards like Stony Silence are rising. If you haven't already get your playsets now. Snapcaster will soon be 50-60$, if Twin keeps being so dominant and successful.

I think now is a fine time to pick up Innistrad cards. The only problem with Snapcaster Mage on PucaTrade is that there are a ton of people currently looking for them :/

Snappy is a card that I can't imagine will ever go out of style.

Snappy is my favourite card :) It would be nice to get another playset, even at these prices.
