Default New Walter Johnson Card?

Just picked this up in a trade, wanted to see if anyone else had ever seen one before. Also, wondering if this would be regarded by the hobby as an actual card or as an advertising piece? It's postcard size, and the paper is card or postcard stock. I'm also posting pictures of another piece I have with the same artwork, from a calendar produced by the Faithorn Company in 1912. My piece has been cut out of the larger calendar, and I had no idea what it was until a full calendar of another player popped up on eBay several years ago. Anyone seen another of those, by any chance? I can't decipher the name of the artist other than the last name, which I think is Brompton. The first initial could by "J." This same artwork was used for a Crack-A-Jack uniform salesman's sample book page from around the same time.

Default neat ad card

I haven't seen one of those before but have quite a few different premiums that are sort of similar. I definitely consider them cards, just of an unknown type. Now, if you are sure yours was cut from a calendar, then no I wouldn't consider it a card...per se'. Cool ad piece either way. Thanks for sharing. Here is a different card that comes to mind when I see yours, though I think this one is a bit more like a card due to the stats on back, but I am not positive...

Very nice, Hank. I would say that it is a card as well.
