Default Billy Sunday Advertising piece help

So the wife and I took a trip out to western Mass this weekend... on the way to the inn we were staying at we stopped at an antiquarian book store in Whately... they had several binders of trade cards and non sports tobacco, but was pretty pumped to find this one of the Reverend William A. Sunday promoting his evangelistic campaign...

Card has some even toning but only true defect is that the owner wrote the price on the reverse in pencil...

I checked the perpetual calendar and it looks like Monday December 18th fell in 1905...

Coolest part about the piece is that I grew up about 2 miles ffrom where the meeting was to take place...

Any ideas on value? anyone interested?

thanks!
Dave
