That is the most common theory on all of the stories concerning the card after googling it, Richards wasn’t named the manager until the Bowman cards were near ready to print, Bowman didn’t have any recent photos of Richards since he had been out of baseball for a while so they had one of their artists do a last second rush job for the Richards card.
