Hello all....

Very nice forum that you have.

I have been collecting cards for over twenty five years and am addicted much like yourselves. I recently came across seventeen N172 Old Judge cards and one N175 Gypsy Queen card from an elderly woman that inherited them from a member of her family over 23 years ago. There is no doubt, these cards are authentic.

I need some help in finding out what I might have. I have done a lot of research and have a vintage sports collectible friend that will be working with me on these cards as well. I always value many opinions.

The one card that has me puzzled is an N172 Stump Weidman card. According to cardtarget.com, the card number is 483-1 with the same pose of this card. However, this card has the last name misspelled as Weichman, also states New Yorks, instead of Detroits and has him wearing a Detroits jersey. From what I have found, Weidman played nine years from 1880 to 1888. Played for Detriots from 1881 to 1885 and 1887, played for the New York Metropolitans in 1887 and played for the New York Giants from 1887 to 1888. Three different teams in the same year, which could explain the variations in the card. With him not playing in 1886, this has to be an 1887 card.

I cannot find a match to this card or any other additional information with the same details of this card. Unfortunately it is not in the best of shape, but it has me very curious for some reason. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The scan of the card is through a soft sleeve and a top loader. I can remove the card and scan again, if needed.

Thank you in advance for your time.
