Excellent question. The program market is pretty thin and prices tend to vary pretty widely. I would guess that the Hunt program sold for a lot more because the buyer had an interest in Cincinnati. The style of the Cincinnati program with the more detailed ad may have also contributed to this. It is interesting that coupons that could be redeemed for N173s were found in Gypsy Queen packs and this style may be scarcer than the other. I have three of the 1888 Brooklyn programs and two are the simple style and one is the more detailed style. Coincidentally, two of my programs are against Cincinnati and the other is against the Athletics, the same two teams as in your examples.
