How many Series 1800s versions are there?

But didn’t think I’d get a reply since it was so long ago.

Am I to understand there are 4 different versions now?  The old post was around the time  the v3 was released. I thought I had all the versions, but apparently I’m wrong. This is what I’ve gathered so far:

V1 - blue tuck has red spade. Both use red and blue weathered stickers, “air cushion” and Ohio printed. Old “E” logo
V2 - both tucks have blue spades, weathered stickers, “performace” typo, printed in KY, old “E” logo
V3 - both tucks have blue spades, marked deck, black stickers, “performace” typo (again), firebird logo
V4? - tuck face has no borders (looks zoomed in compared to other versions),  new marking system, blue sticker (on my red deck. Not sure about blue deck), “performance” spelled properly, firebird logo.

I always thought that v2 was the first marked one (top left, hard to read) and v3 was the newest one with the read on the middle side.  Can someone please confirm this info and correct any errors that I may be unaware of?  Thanks in advance!

I was unaware of the typographical error on the first marked version - V3 as you're calling it.

Technically, depending on how you view "versions," there's more than even what you listed.

While I don't think they were ever available in the old UV500 stock, there was a period of time between V1 and V2 (post-Ohio) where they started using the same stock but adding "Performance Coating"/Magic Finish, while the boxes still said "Air Cushion Finish."  It was available first on the reds, then soon after on the blues.  In time, they started renaming the decks as "Performance Coating," which I guess is what you're calling V2, and then they started coming out marked.

I didn't know they'd updated the marking system - the old was was sneaky but hard to read.  Thing is, though, no versions are currently available - at least not from E.  They're off the website entirely.  They give up on them or something?
