Default RPPC's--Looking for some expertise--

I just bought several, what are labeled Real Photo Postcards:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1924-Jack-F...vip=true&rt=nc

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1929-Babe-H...vip=true&rt=nc

I know nothing about these "cards."
One is dated 1924, the others 1929.
Is that when they were allegedly printed? [I have my doubts; they don't look that old, and they all look like they've come from the same lot.]

Seller says, Reverse Side Early Ink Stamp of “PHOTO POSTCARD”.
All of them have erasure under the Photo Postcard stamp on the back.

Can anyone fill me in on these RPPC's/reference a link?
Thanks.

Maybe he means he that he had to get up “early” to stamp the photos himself.

I don't like them for being real photo. Too grainy and too black and white.
Here is a real photo postcard which was tinted and I thought kind of cool.

Their overall appearance doesn't look at all consistent with the time period indicated. The fact that the erasures performed were so heavy as to remove the text present is a major red flag.

Maybe I'm overthinking this, but the first thing that came to mind is that they are clearly not postcards.

And the erasures are on the same spot on both cards. Like where a modern era zip code may have been. What an usual coincidence!

I am a long ways from an expert but I have a few photo postcards from the same time period. My thought was that a photo postcard was meant to be sent thus would have a place for a stamp/address. I may be mistaken. This is one I have from the same time period
