[Harvonsgard]

Seems like we have some new Jerry's Nuggets here...
not quite there but the inflation is strong with these now.

For perspective: I bought 2 of'em in Nov'19 for $22 each. Sales since then went nuts...

I have wanted to find a Hesslers enhanced version for a while now, but a new version with cold foil is likely coming out this summer
EDIT: Metallic inks.

Four-color suits and a beautiful maiden back

[brownsl]

That is great! Better sell all my extras asap!

Thanks kev - me too
Keep us informed

[Timmargh]

What's the difference between the enhanced and the riderback version?

[Honeybee]

Tim, they don't have the cold foil that we are hoping V2 will have but this pic shows how they are superior to the standard red and blue back Hesslers

[kevork]

Yeah, that maiden back in the enhanced version is simply superb.

The red and blue decks do have one card in them with this back on it.

[Honeybee]

Yes, it was that one extra enhanced back in my bicycle deck (and a little research) that put them on my wish list

[wingedpotato]

Oooh may finally get a Hessler's deck. I've always loved the colors on those courts.

[Timmargh]

Thanks for the info, guys. I have the blue riderbacks, and I think I'll be getting a v2 deck, too, if I can; I love four-colour decks.

Where’d you got that info from?

EDIT: Nevermind… I was thinking in what a weird world it would be possible to have shite cold foil on an awesome USPCC deck…
Turns out reading comments is to hard for some…

From Matt himself.

[Harvonsgard]

So Matt Hessler himself told you specifically that he’ll be printing a third edition of the Hessler’s Enhanced deck with cold foil on them???
Highly unlikely, since I’ve (luckily) never seen a Bicycle deck with cold foil.

[kevork]

I guess its semantics but I would call wrong assumptions by Henry on an instagram post not “from the man himself”.

I spoke to him directly on Instagram regarding the summer timeline, but oops I see now that it is not cold foil. Shame. Metallic inks don't really give me that flashiness I like.

To be fair, USPCC's cold foil on their bicycle peacock deck is great...

[Harvonsgard]

Appreciate the clarification.

[Harvonsgard]

[GandalfPC]

Unfair marketing tactic of too much too love. I’m calling my lawyer.

What deck is your current av?

Hey, I have stupidly thought I could wait to add the Hesslers to my next Penguin or Vanishing order
BUT they seem to be SOLD OUT everywhere already!
Does anybody know anywhere you can still buy the latest Black Maiden Back (enhanced) Hesslers?

[kevork]

Nope. They're sold out and get listed for high prices on eBay. I've been on the lookout too.

[Honeybee]

You missed out too kev? I thought they were still available in my Penguin cart even yesterday when I was making up my mind about my Honeybees order!

[kevork]

The huge Add to Cart button is misleading when Out of Stock is written underneath in tiny font. I don't mind not having the sold out one as much anymore now that we're getting the new one that's coming out.

[brownsl]

Very frustrating that they sold out that quickly everywhere.

[kevork]

Oh wow, I didn't even realize you were referring to the new one. I didn't expect it to be released already. I contacted Dave who said he'll have some. Will see if it's possible to grab.

[shunterino]

Both Penguin and Vanishing are showing a "restock" date as June 3rd which is probably the release date. Are you sure the sold out page isn't just a place holder so they could get the page up early?

[Honeybee]

Penguin removed them from my cart as Sold Out
Socal had them listed and now have Sold Out on them
But I hope you're right Shunterino

I am not expecting to buy them G but I hoped to find more detail on them eg KS campaign or whatever - any more clues
They look beautiful

[GandalfPC]

Thanks - It was just a thing I was playing around with a long while back, seeing what it took to make a deck at MPC - was screwing around with the backs, decided to make a tuck to see what it was like, never made it around to the faces

This was my thinking, too. Somewhere earlier in the thread the release was said to be "in the summer."
