To find out what fraction of the album is empty, we need to subtract the fractions filled by football and baseball cards from 1 (the whole album).

Football cards filled: 42/100
Baseball cards filled: 3/10 = 30/100

Total filled fraction: 42/100 + 30/100 = 72/100

Fraction empty: 1 - 72/100 = 28/100

Therefore, 28/100 of the album is still empty.

So, the correct answer is:
O 28/100
