Nice catch, picking up on the back of the Marsans postcard being identical to the 1922 Exhibit P/C Backs series. A little more google image searching uncovers that LOTG auctions ran several uncatalogued 1922 Exhibit P/C Backs, all labeled as such in SGC holders, a little while back. Here are five of the key players that I found: Speaker, Hornsby, Faber, Cobb & GC Alexander. Does anyone know if the images used for those 5 postcards were "borrowed" from another 1920's exhibit card series or maybe another photo source? If so, that might explain why a Marsans might exist with a 1917-18 image, there would not be any other 1920's images of him to "borrow" from.
