Each forum member is right on this post. The popularity of the Cracker Jacks, especially the 1914's, is likely never to wane. The name 'Cracker Jack' ensures that, as does the unique beauty of the cards, the relatively low number of cards comprising the set (with no back variations to deal with), and also the challenging nature of completing it, which can be done with perseverance.
Recent auctions, eBay and otherwise, certainly show that the 1914 set is hotter than ever. ( Note that a Psa 4 Becker sold for about $1200 this past November in a memory lane auction.) The recent surge in prices is simply a reflection of a surge in set collectors.
