For our little backwater memorabilia niche, the answer is obvious -- an example of either Buckley's Game Board of 1867
or Sebring's Parlor Base-Ball of 1866-1868. Buckley's may have never actually gone into production, but Sebring's was
advertised in major periodicals of the day. Each could lay claim to being the first-ever tabletop baseball game. In both cases,
however, not a single example is known to survive. Having one turn up would be miraculous.
