I see an example (albeit flawed) using the same background image on David Cycleback's magnificent web site:

Assuming it's genuine, it's an 1870s calling card (business card) for a baseball team member. The printers probably had various generic and themed backgrounds for calling cards then personalized them for the customer. A dentist's business card from the same printer wouldn't have had a baseball game background. As noted, that MBBC text is special as it ties Mr. Gifford and the card to a team.

Darn, I went out of town for a couple of days and forgot about this card.
