Default Collectability of 1930's "premium" cards?

I've just found my way into buying 2 relatively affordable 1939 R303 Goudey premium cards (Dickey and Lombardi - love those old-timey catcher poses and the equally campy and fun "how to" backs)

I'm 99% collector but it's not the worst thing when I see my card values increase from time to time!

I'm curious how other vintage collectors feel about these premium, mail-in issues from back in the day. Are these small, niche only items (hence the lower cost?)

Or do you see the potential for value growth along the lines of postcards and exhibits over the last several years?

Thanks for weighing in - this is a new area of collecting for me and I'd love to hear others' thoughts

Here are my 2 new incoming cards...
