Default DEBATE/DISCUSSION: Baseball Card or Not? Steve Mesner's Batting Range

As the title says...is this a baseball card or not?

The following card is roughly the size of a business card on thicker glossy card stock than you would expect for a business card and pictures Steve Mesner himself. The look of this card probably dates this to the 1950's to perhaps the 1960's at the latest.

The card itself was good for a free game at his baseball batting cage or store? which was located (I believe) in San Diego, CA. (Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.)

I have had it for a while and it has always occupied a space in my collection somewhere between "baseball card" and something else... that being said I am not sure if it is just the size that makes me fee that way as it was a promotional item given out to the public with a player/former player pictured for a business. That typically is what constitutes a card.

Regardless...open to fun discussion on it. LMK what you think.
