There likely isn't much more I'll be able to share. The NY version of his cards are known in both cabinet and N172 form (all 1888 cards). There are a couple surviving original glass plate negatives of Weidman as well in which NY is noted as his team on a piece of tape near the negatives edge (including this pose). The mis-spelling is new to me and that is part of what makes this card special. There are many examples of unique or very rare card variations that do not command a premium but when a misspelling is part of the mix the card becomes more interesting.
