Ed Sweeney, he of Yankee pinstripes, was a catcher for Richmond in August/September 1915.

Thanks, Todd, I know you researched old newspaper accounts on a bunch of the T213-2 mysteries and posted them in an earlier thread, but I didn't it pull it up to refresh my recollection. Nice work.

Thanks Rob. Here is the link if anyone wants to review it.https://www.net54baseball.com/showth...hlight=sweeney

What's interesting is that Sweeney and Jack Warhop were released to Richmond at the same time, but the latter did not report and obtained his unconditional release. Warhop was in negotiations with St. Louis and pitched there in the Spring of 1916 but was cut before the season began. He has a T213-2 card for St. Louis, which gives insight as to release of the 1916 series for that set. Since Sweeney was not back to Richmond after the 1915 season, this too gives insight into the 1915 release of T213-2 that year.

Rob, of your t213-1 collection - what percentage of yours would you guess have back damage? I’m assuming way more than 50%?

Dave, here's a pic of the backs from 5 years ago. I have upgraded as I go. I would say about 5% of my 67/68 have back damage. Almost all my dupes have back damage or other major flaws.

Thanks, Leon, I was going to load them to my flickr page 1 by 1 when I finished, but I may start gradually working on the page this year. I think I'm close on type 3 and type 1, but years away on type 2, because I have 4 really tough cards left.

I can only contribute two cards to the discussion. I have a Type 1 of Clyde Engle and a Type 2 of Tom Needham.

I will try and add pictures later in the weekend.
