Default Question re Unusual 1959 Home Run Derby Card

I've wondered about this unusual 1959 Home Run Derby card of Harmon Killebrew (below, next to my real example) ever since I obtained it roughly 20 years ago. My Standard Catalog informs me that "an advertising poster is sometimes seen which is essentially an uncut sheet of the cards with a promotional message at bottom." Can anyone confirm my guess that this card was cut from a poster? And, does this narrative on the back (which looks like it was typewritten, but I don't think it was) appear on the backs of other cards cut from a poster? Can anyone show a similar card? Does this unusual card have any meaningful value?

Many thanks in advance for any helpful info,
Val
