There's a c. 1956 team-issued Cardinals postcard on eBay right now, and it looks almost identical. The only difference is that yours has an ad front and a blank back, and this one has an autograph front and a little bit of text on the back. The seller is calling it a 1953-55 postcard, but as you mentioned, Vinegar Bend is wearing the one-year 1956 jersey.

I wonder if the whole teams '56 pc was altered with branding and used as a premium by susmans. Or if it was just Bends.

Susman's Boyer, Blasingame and Mizell
Looks like it may have been an in-store promotional giveaway. This is from
the St. Louis Post-Dispatch; 05 Dec 1956, Wed · Page 47

I will see a dealer next month setup for a sport card show he owned a furniture in the city, during the 1960's-being a long time collector he might be familiar with the issue.

And this one from the same paper 11/25/1956, p.21
 plus another from 12/16/56:  I found similar ads from December 2 and 7, but I think you get the idea.
