The Barber.
 
never seen it and just a shot-in-the-dark on my part - with no manufacturer shown in your posted image, it looks like some sort of game or perhaps a quiz card(?)...

maybe (?) the blank white area is to fill in a the last name of a pitcher nicknamed "The Barber" - SAL MAGLIE - by plucking letters shown in the names listed below, as the letters M-A-G-L-I-E could be found???

while I could be completely full of sh!t *wouldn't be the first time* or totally overthinking this, that's MY (VERY!) wild-ass guess.

edited to add: could be a Laughlin / Fleer issue, as the cartoon graphics are very similar.

Thank you. It appears dated (60s ?), based on the graphics. Thought about Fleer, but forgot about Laughlin. It is blank on the backside.

Fleer
 
It is part of a Fleer sticker set. Fairly tough set too. I have the set and will look up the year of issue later. Fleer issued baseball "sets" every year after 1959 ( Williams) through 1980 before hitting the market with the 81 set. But most were sticker, quiz and logo items, with some old timer cards sprinkled in.

If you google the Fleer Sticker Blog or Fleer Sticker Project you can find them all detailed. The creator of that blog sometimes posts here

1966
 
1966---sixty in set. Pretty scarce. Many Fleer items were issued or reissued over several years. I think this was a one year offering

Just picked up a few of these with the 'name stickers' attached to the bottoms. Nice condition too.
