For those of us on a strict collecting budget, which would you rather have?

If you are thinking about buying one of these, I'd say buy the one you would most like to own. As far as desirability, I'd probably go with The T201 Cobb slightly over the T205 Matty, followed by the T201 Matty. None of them are scarce, so you don't have to worry about missing an opportunity. They all come around.

The demand for both is strong. The common because of grade rarity, the superstar because of player popularity.

OK, I actually do own the 1915 Cracker Jack Louis Evans. I purchased an example from a poorly worded ebay description for $32 a couple of months ago. I then submitted to SGC and it came back as an 84. I really like the look of the t205 and t201 set (I might want to do this set). I used the initial Matty example to see if rare high-grade would draw more interest than a common mid-grade bonifide HOFer. I wonder if my Cracker Jack common will increase over the next few years?

...you won't get the 40/50 T206 Matty (THAT is WHAT YOU SAID, ISN'T IT?) for $32...that's for sure (but, as has already been said, no shortage of those). Most cards, I don't care too much about condition, but Cracker Jacks in great shape as so beautiful.

It doesn't sound like you bought the CJ because you really wanted that card. Rather, as a collector, you took advantage of an opportunity. That being the case - if you have nothing truly invested in the card emotionally - just flip it and buy something you really want, Matty or otherwise.

If you are not going to start the Cracker Jack set, I would sell it. Say the card is worth $200 (I have no idea what it is worth, just hypothetical). Would you rather have the card or $200? Sounds to me like that if you were at a card show and could buy either from a dealer for the same price, you would pick up the Matty.

I admit I was being opportunistic in that situation. When I found that Evans, I was actually looking for Cracker Jack Baltimore cards. The last 1915 Federals in SGC 84 went for around $450.
