Jay is correct that this Ginter album (A17) is much rarer than the earlier Ginter album (A16). The A16 is by far the commonest of all the tobacco albums that include baseball players. The one advantage that the A16 has, along with the better player selection inside, is that the cover is superior as it shows John Ward and Jack Dempsy against a beautifully ornate design.

The A17 album just sold was a fine example, with minimal wear, intact and what perhaps is the orginal binding ribbon. I think many of the albums are undervalued. Still, the winner of this one seems to got a fine example at a nice price
