1935 National Chicle: Explained?

[RedlegsFan]

It is obvious that these football cards, produced by the same company that did Diamond Stars and Sky Birds are extremely rare. I am familiar with how/why some of the the 50s Topps/Bowman cards became scarce, but not the entire set of National Chicle.

I was wondering if anyone here knows much about how the Chicles were printed, how the sheets were run, numer of print runs, etc.? Was there just only a few months they ran printing? Is there just a perfect combination of desirability and scarcity that make these cards so rare? I scoured the last 6 or 7 national conventions, and these cards ard pesky to find, and if there are any found, most dealers wont budge on asking price, rightfully so I suppose? Any thoughts are appreciated, as I’ve hit a dead-end in my research. Thanks!
