Here's a few images of a couple of them that I owned- between '05 and '11 I bought all 3 that came up, constantly upgrading. The best one now resides in Andy's collection, and while I couldn't call it mint it's probably one of the nicest ones out there.



Sorry for the slight hijack, but since we're talking about albums....

FWIW, I found the albums for each of these sets considerably harder to find in any condition than the cards.

Were these albums only available in 1915?
