The MMD #1 Reprint is actually known as the Denver Comic Con Sketch Edition. The tuck box's front face was mostly blank. It was meant for you to either fill in your own design or get someone at the convention to sketch it in for you, preferably the comic book artist who designed the deck's art.
Here's a piece of trivia for you...
The Ellusionist 1800s v1 and v2 not only had different tuck boxes (and they were different in a number of ways), they also were printed on different stock. v1 was printed on Bicycle stock, because (according to the public discourse at the time) E was trying to genuinely evoke an older deck, and it was thought that a thinner stock would be more successful at that. However, since the Bee stock was typically more favored by E at the time, customers complained (iirc), and so Bee stock quietly replaced the Bicycle stock. I do not recall a big deal being made when they switched from v1 to v2. I just remember re-ordering a few 1800s and discovering the differences, and then reading the boards that discussed them.
I have no idea if they are still printed on Bee stock. For all I know, they've moved on to a v3....
On a completely different sub-topic:
Do we want to add CARC to this list?
Would it be complete and utter heresy to mention Magic Makers? Even when you strip out their gaff and magic-only decks, they still have a surprisingly large number of customized conventional decks.
(I'm ducking my head now...)
It's not heresy to add CARC or Magic Makers, though hearing them in the same sentence does strip one's mental gears a little...
What you're calling versions are simply different print runs. Sometimes between print runs they tweak the deck a little in one way or another - some simple changes would be something like different ad cards.
I have my doubts that the present printing of Series 1800 is on Bee stock, though - it's too easily flexed and shuffled right out of the box. Bees are notoriously stiff - riffling a new pack is almost an Olympic sport! I'd heard, reliably, that they were using Bicycle Casino stock after the company stopped using UV500 stock for cost and availability reasons. But USPC discontinued the stock, and they were having trouble with the traditional 325gsm Bicycle stock in the new Kentucky presses. While they now measure the present stock by caliper thickness, it's in the ballpark of 300gsm. Honestly, it was a bigger deal when they switched from "Air Cushion Finish" to "Performance Coating", better known elsewhere as Magic Finish. The 1800s were not good performers prior to that upgrade, but now, they're smooth as polished glass and slicker than grease.
Add it all up, though, and it's considered the same deck, same version, just different print runs.
But the better authority to tap for such knowledge would be some of the many people here who've either worked for Ellusionist in the past or still work with them today...it's not like we have a shortage or something!
Jake, Mike, one of you two want to take a crack at this?
