The pages have yellowed quite a bit, and there are detached pages inside the book, as well as pages that have tears and missing corners. Still, the photo cards are for the most part still shiny, and firmly attached to the pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA great piece of WWII early NSDAP memorabilia and propaganda, ready to research and display!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45180205629509,"sku":"ONJR25MAMB049","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/ONJR25MAMB049.jpg?v=1782666443","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-german-wwii-nsdap-adolf-h-pictures-of-the-life-of-der-fuhrer-cigarette-card-album-from-school-all-cards-present","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
