This is a more informative link: http://www.matthessler.com/ (http://www.matthessler.com/)

It's a no-revoke deck but what I'm curious about are the cards. There's the standard 52, a rule for Hearts, the Black Maria (a second QS), the Omnibus Knave (?; a second JD) which leaves only one card for a joker which is not shown. Does one card have a different back or is it there for comparison?

Hey, Jay - the photos aren't loading.  I tried copying the URL of one of them and pasting it in a new browser window and I get an error that there is no such file on the server.

I really like this deck actually and just finished a review video.  If you all are interested you can see it here: https://youtu.be/wOh-63wTU3g

I apologize in advance for the heretic behaviour of thread necromancy - but extraordinary situations require extraordinary solutions  ::).

I'm searching for this deck and it might be a long shot - but if someone wants to help out a fellow collector in Europe and has a spare to sell please send me a message. The last ones I've seen were sold on the Bay in November of last year for $20 and $25. So I look for something in the same price range. Of course I know that shipping to Europe won't come cheap but I'm looking to spend not more than $50 shipped to Europe.

I’m never opposed to reviving dormant threads, if it’s for a legitimate reason such as yours.

It?s available for roughly half that price from Amazon in the US.  The seller is running low, though, so act fast. If you can?t order directly, use shipito.com as a go-between.

Thank you for the infos. Do you have a link? All I can find on amazon are the 2019 released Bicycle Hesslers with the standard blue or red Riderback. Not the black/multicolour Maiden backs from 2015/16.

Y'know, I didn't even know there was a new printing on Rider Backs...

Yeah, that's all I'm finding, too.  But keep posting around here, you might find them.  And don't give up on eBay - there's a few dedicated card dealers there; one of them's likely to have some left.  Other than that, try reaching Matt Hessler and ask him to reprint them - they were really cool.

Funny that you mention a reprint. Rumor has it that he is going to do so but I don't know if he really goes for an exact reprint or a third version. We'll have to wait though since the 2019 release has to be sold out first.
