No Roland, that is not what I am saying. I do not collect the Sears set, nor many postcards of any kind, so I am not in a position to say if any are authentic or not. I do not know if they were reprinted, and if so, with proper permission or not.

I can say with some confidence the two cards you show that use Mendelsohn's photos were not issued in the 1917-20 time frame that m101-6 was distributed. Some of his images were used in sets from the 1920's, but from what I have seen, those were in recognized card sets. Whether someone chose to use the photos to create postcards, rightly or wrongly, I do not know. It is known in the hobby that many reprints using old photos were created in the 1970s and surrounding decades.
