Default A "1921" Holsum Bread anomaly

I've been contacted by a reader who sent scans of an uncataloged card from the set we list as 1921 Holsum Bread.

The card is Sherry Magee, with the Boston Braves. Magee, who left the majors in 1919, doesn't appear in either of the sets which we attribute as being the progenitors of the Holsums -- E121 or W575-1 -- much less as a Boston Brave, for whom he last played in 1917.

I know a couple of regulars on the forum are deeply involved in the study of this "family" of cards. What do you make of this?
