"The letters, to which the apostle is indebted for the largest part of his fame, seem to have been forgotten for almost an entire century, until we encounter them in the middle of the second century in the hands of the heretic Marcion, who was excommunicated by the Catholic church in 144 CE."

– H. Detering (The Falsified Paul, p60)

There's also this on the page.

Prior to 2nd century heretic Marcion we enter a void in which Paul's epistles are unquoted and Christian writers show no knowledge of the apostle.

Justin Martyr Letters

In Justin's works, distinct references are found to Romans, 1 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Colossians, and 2 Thessalonians, and possible ones to Philippians, Titus, and 1 Timothy. It seems likely that he also knew Hebrews and 1 John.

What if there were texts going round which a lot of people used as references? If Marcion forged Paul's letters it would be in his interests to promote the idea that Paul said these things first. It would be in Tertullian's interests as well because, going by what he said in his 'Against Marcion', he was rewriting the letters to suit his own agenda.

If the texts which everyone quoted from were a bit of embarrassment they would have conveniently disappeared.
