Cracker Jack cards about to skyrocket?

I'm slightly biased as this is my favorite set but I don't understand why it isn't more popular. Maybe the printing size factors into that...

I don't know, I don't think the sizes really have anything to do with it, I just think prices for many of the cards (due to moderate overall rarity) are already pretty pricey compared to T206 and 1933 Goudey in which there's an ABUNDANCE of cards. So I'm thinking it's just a little bit too costly to start collecting for the average hobbyist.

But if there was ever a set that was due for a new price jump it's these. Some of the best quality images of any pre war cards (next to T206) reside in this legendary card set.

IMO it's right there with best sets of all time:

1.) T206
2.) 1952 Topps
3.) 1933 Goudey
4.) 1914/15 Cracker Jack
