Always figured because:
1. They aren't actually cards, which turns off some collectors.
2. The exact same images are used in multiple other issues; T-205s, Piedmont Art Stamps: and T-202 end panels. so they aren't unique.
3. No one seems to really know how to grade them, just look at my earlier comments regarding the Cobb silks in REA's just ended auction.
4. When originally issued, they were actually folded when put into cigarette packs so they originally came folded/creased, which likely turns some collectors off.
4. PSAS won't grade them so they don't get into the registry and that likely turns off quite a few of the higher-dollar collectors also.
If someone could get PSA, or even SGC and BVG, to come up with a much more reasonable grading system for them, coupled with PSA actually grading them, I think they would see a big pick up in interest.
