If the card is legit and not a later strike using a borrowed image, then I would think it at least possible if not likely that it was issued during the m101-6 run, believed to be 1917-1920. I would not put it past someone simply trimming the larger m101-6 to fit their needs, although why they wouldn't use just standard postcard size escapes me, and the stock would be thinner than typical postcard stock. If not that, they could have used Mendelsohn's image and font, with or without permission, to create their own postcard.
I don't know why this card would have been printed after 1920 when the last of m101-6 had issued, since Marsans was finished playing in MLB, not just the Yankees, after 1918. Unless of course it is a non-period piece, perhaps a tribute set for Yankees or Cuban ballplayers.
