I'm 4 cards from a complete set, and the Sweeney Richmond is 1 of them. There is an image on here somewhere. I'll also look for it later this weekend. Rob

Rob, the printers actually had it correct. Baseball Reference doesn't show that he played for Richmond but he actually did towards the end of the 1915 season after the Yankees released him.
