Outstanding example of one of the most highly coveted baseball board games in the hobby: the 1913 Major League Indoor Base Ball produced by the Philadelphia Game MFG. Co. The appeal of this game is its lid, which features portrait images of sixteen of the game's greatest stars at the time. (It should be noted there is a more common, generic version of this game lid, however this one with the player photos is rarer and much more desirable.) The oval portraits displayed here are those of Frank Baker, Ty Cobb, Nap Lajoie, Ed Walsh, Tris Speaker, Hal Chase, Walter Johnson, Bobby Wallace, Christy Mathewson, Frank Chance, Honus Wagner, Red Dooin, Roger Bresnahan, Bob Bescher, Nap Rucker, and Johnny Kling. These portrait images were all taken by renowned Boston baseball photographer Carl Horner, with most used for the player's respective T206 tobacco card, including Honus Wagner.

The box lid, which features vibrant colors, displays a few light stains and minor blemishes consistent with its age and former use. However, it remains in overall Very Good to Excellent condition and is in far finer condition than most surviving examples. The interior game board and spinner section remain in Excellent to Mint condition, and the game retains nearly all of its original wooden pegs and lineup cards. Notably, the lineup cards remain in their original uncut panels. The hinged box measures 19.5x13.5x2.75".
