I'd say for decks that don't have too much feedback/comments it's fitting to have one thread for multiple decks (aka this thread). With large campaigns and decks that get a lot of feedback/comments (e.g. TGW projects) it's good to keep one thread per deck.
You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.

For Moon 65, there were two versions available publicly and were x/30 prototypes. They are numbered prototype #2 for the red backs, and prototype #3 for the blue backs. But what about prototype #1? Well, that was the initial test run not meant for public release. These were x/10 and Leo ended up changing the front entirely, after not being happy with what he had initially created. Here, you can see all 3 versions with detailed comparisons.

Prototype #1, #2, #3 in that order. The tuck stock is matte on the first version, while 2 and 3 have a glossier tuck.

The aces were changed between #1 and #2/3, and indices were expanded to cover all four corners.

Notice shading was also added for the latter two prototypes, giving the art less of a flat look.

Beautiful decks I am honored and lucky to own.

I hope this post answers your question!
