Baseball Cards to Save 140-Year-Old Church Organ
David Smith thought his old baseball cards were only worth a few bucks, but little did he know they were worth much, much more.
The cards, which are 100 years old, were collected by David's father. Ironically, David's grandfather wrote the song, Take Me Out to the Ball Game, back in 1908.
Some of the cards are very rare and expected to bring thousands of dollars at a live auction. The organ that will be restored is a 140-year-old instrument that is in a north Philadelphia church.
