Ive had hundred of baseball trade cards, some with fancy ads on back, one of my favorite was an ad for a wood works company with a nice picture for a wooden "teeter totter" with kids playing on it. The back ad sometimes is more attractive than the front. I also had one with a drawing of an 1880s lawn mower of the time. The most valuable ones will have ads thats are baseball related like a schedule or ad for sporting goods with pictures.

The card you have is from the set called H804-17 "Blueish-Green Big Head Series", there are 9 in the set. They are fairly common and popular. If I had that one Id sell it for $15-$25 mainly because of the damage. If nice without the corner problem, Id list it for more like $50. Its a nice ad but doesnt add a whole lot to value.

The cool thing is, that is basically a "car" ad for that 1880s era.
