Scrape info from a span title

My html looks like this:

    <h3>Current Guide Price <span title="92">   92
    </span></h3>

The info I am trying to get is the 92.

here is another html page where i need to get the same data:

    <h3>Current Guide Price <span title="4,161">    4,161
    </span></h3>

I would need to get the 4,161 from this page.

here is the link to the page for reference: http://services.runescape.com/m=itemdb_oldschool/viewitem?obj=1613

What I have tried:

/h3/span[@title="92"]@title

/h3/span[@title="92"]/text()

/div[@class="stats"]/h3/span[@title="4,161"]@title

since the info I need is in the actual span tag, it is hard to grab the data in a dynamic way that I can use for many different pages.

from lxml import html
import requests


baseUrl = 'http://services.runescape.com/m=itemdb_oldschool/viewitem?obj=2355'
page = requests.get(baseUrl)

tree = html.fromstring(page.content)
price = tree.xpath('//h3/span')
price2 = tree.xpath('//h3/span/@title')
for p in price:
    print(p.text.strip())
for p2 in price2:
    print(p2)

The output is 92 in both cases.
