Default Recently purchased 1914 Cracker Jack Ty Cobb - Authentic?

Hello, please forgive me if I have posted this incorrectly; this is my first time posting on this forum.

I recently stumbled upon an eBay auction of 6 ungraded 1914 Cracker Jack cards including Ty Cobb. The auction had only been up for around 30 minutes when I found it and had a seemingly reasonable buy-it-now price ($1200.00). Although the pictures were too poor to completely determine their condition/authenticity, I took a chance and bought it as I feared someone else would if I waited too long. I received the cards the other day and after closely inspecting them with a jeweler's loop, I am pretty certain that they are authentic.

However, I am new to the Cracker Jack set, and before I send them off to PSA I was hoping someone might give me a quick opinion as to their authenticity. Also, I normally look at recently sold cards on ebay to determine how much to spend on any given card, but there are not many 1914 CJ's sold on a regular basis, so I'm not completely sure whether or not I overpaid.

Here's a link to an imgur album with scans of the cards (http://imgur.com/a/2RdPW).

Clicking on any individual picture will open a higher-res version. Any help as to their authenticity/value would be much appreciated!

Thanks!
