I would say that they are relatively inexpensive, but not cheap. Cards normally go for around the same price as T206's in mid to lower grades (I know this is contrary to the guides). The lack of perceived interest is most likely a result of their availability. There was an interesting article in Beckett Vintage a few years back regarding this issue (how it was distributed, quality control, etc.) which spawned a number of listings on ebay soon thereafter. About ten to fifteen years ago, dealers would sell these at shows for about twice the price of a similar condition T206. As with caramel cards, it is probably just a matter of time before this issue "catches up" with other vintage material.
