In 1965, the postcards were 3 1/4" x 5 1/2". The 1966 postcards are 1/4" shorter, 3 1/4" x 5 1/4". Also, the gap above Palmer's hat is a little larger on the 1965. Does your Palmer have a postmark on back?
Your Palmer looks like one of my 1966 Palmer postcards, but could be a new 1965 variation.
Here's my 1965 and two 1966 Jim Palmer postcards for comparison.

Measured the Palmer 5 1/4 x 3 1/4 But the back is blank no postmark. The McNally is 5 1/2 but I was told it was a 1964. Also blank backed. I won them as part of a large group on Ebay maybe 6 weeks ago. That was one of 4 or 5 Groups of a large collection of Baltimore team issues. The other I will see if any of the other 1965 cards are from players that could only be 65..
PS Love the Johnny pro Brooks. It brings back memories of my first show in MD. I think Nick Schoff ran it. Met alot of collectors at that show.
