When Max created the Metal Rider back, the first one in the TEXTURE SERIES, he wanted everyone could enjoy it. Planned to be a 2500 print run, it ended being a 5500 print run due to the high demand. The deck is completely sold out in retailers, available only from some secondary market sellers (for high prices). Max contacted a while ago to ask for a second print run but as far as the first one was numbered, we wanted to keep it as a one-print limited edition. He got really sad because although people claimed for more metal decks, he didn’t want to hurt our solid reputation so he decided to create another edition keeping the same essence of the original but doing some changes. After several tries with different options (Max confirmed that the MetalLux technology would lose all the texture in the back as you can’t print on the foil material and metallic inks wouldn’t give real bright to the cards), he decided to create a new color version of the back with a cool and deep blue that would not only keep the original as a limited deck but would give old and new backers the possibility to own an awesome deck.

This deck was printed in Ohio, so previous to 2009 and also to the 2010 reprint. No year or barcode in bottom
