I do not think that Poul Anderson refers anywhere to ERB? We have listed Old Phoenix guests in:
Guests In The Old Phoenix
Guests In The Old Phoenix II
Guests In The Old Phoenix III
Open To Everything
Multiverse
A Lensman In The Old Phoenix
A Large Gathering In The Old Phoenix
Anonymous Historical Characters
Anonymous Historical Characters II
Anonymous Historical Characters III
Anonymous Historical Characters IV
The Old Phoenix
- and they did not include Greystoke or Carter etc.
SM Stirling wrote an ERBian pastiche - see A Paxton and the link from it - and this is the sort of thing that Anderson would have done. I have argued that an Andersonian rationale of ERB's absurdities would have been a good idea. See here.

The series I've just started is set in the early 20th century, with things starting to change in 1912, and by 1916 Edgar Rice Burroughs is writing slightly different stories... but they're still appearing in Argosy All-Story.
THE PESHAWAR LANCERS has alternative Kipling and Doyle. Now we need an alternative ERB!
Kaor, Paul!
I have a vague recollection somewhere (possibly mistaken), of Poul Anderson having a town on Mars named "Burroughs." And I liked best ERB's Barsoom stories!
Merry Christmas! Sean
