Is it realistic to believe that Hall's Studio would have produced a Marquard cabinet in 1908 or would a 1909 date make more sense?

I knew it would just be a matter of time before we heard from you! First, if I could buy his Hall's Cabinet card for a reasonable price I probably would buy it (and consider it his RC). Because I'll probably never buy one I'd have to say that unless someone could prove that it actually was produced prior to his 1909 season I think I'll stick with his T206 as his RC. Isn't it funny how I manipulate the rules to accommodate my ability to purchase some of these cards??! LOL. Thanks Phil.
