Fes, the NOC V3S are indeed still master finish... but hey, the guys at LPCC and EPCC have always been experimenting when it comes to things like inks, and subtle variations.
I think a good example is the Legends series cards (V1, V2, and EE) -- all used diamond finish, all three editions had different thickness (V1 was the thinnest, where as V3 was thickest) and slickness.
Therefore, the enhancements can be one or more of various things... it could be thickness, it could be different ink, or it could even be a slight variation to the coating. Whichever it is, I fully expect it to be impressive. I'll definitely post my thoughts on them once I get a few more
Chas0039, no need to apologise about anything brother -- after all, even I'm not up to speed on past releases for a lot of deck series'. For example, the popular Smoke and Mirrors series from D&D... most people know the details of every single edition, where as I don't!
Legends and Art of Play (well, D&D) are entirely separate entities... D&D are based in the states, and whilst they do design and sell decks, they aren't actually printers. Legends PCC is based on Hong Kong, and as well as selling their in house decks, they take customs orders and print superior quality decks via factories in Taiwan and PRC.
A lot of people mistake Expert PCC and Legends PCC to be the same company... and whilst they do collaborate, they are *not* the same.
