If from the 1870's that would make it quite early....

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.

Same seller of the card that was the subject of this thread is now offering this extraordinary piece of ephemera. Anyone care to withhold/impart any info on this one?
