    Is this a postcard?

    If not, what kind of card is it?

    It looks like a trivia card.


    Thank you...

    Does a [Trivia Card] typically have (on the flip side)
    a multiple-choice question ?

    multiple-choice questions:

    No idea, it was my best guess.

    -a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a If not,-a what kind of card is it?

    Doubtful its a postcard. What are the dimensions? What's
    on the other side?

    It says "Famous Celebrity" and google translate
    handles it. It's from Aristotle. Looks like a series.
