   On Season's FB page, they announced this: "Hope you're excited. It's about time this goes full circle. #FinalSeasons".
   But they only posted this picture.

   Being a fan of the previous decks, I'm wanting to see more!!

Nice!  Finally jumped into this deck recently as I missed the initial run.  Glad to see I might get in at that ground floor with the next set.  Tease photos...

I actually liked the 2nd edition better as I prefer silver to gold.  Looking forward to getting in on the new one as well. The Seasons Set is on my "top shelf"   :)

I've seen a bit more and I think that if you liked the amazing work in the first two decks you'll be pleased. I am very much looking forward to adding more of Alex's designs to my display case.

I've been on Seasons decks since the beginning. Looking forward to these for sure.

I find it coincidental, the timing of Alex's announcement and the Dan and Dave Variety Box. Wondering if these are already printed and If one is being slipped into the New Variety Box? Alex has come back to the forum after a long absence and posted on some threads that are at this point unrelated to the seasons deck. Dan and Dave variety being one of them.

Unfortunately these are not already printed yet. There is no relation to this and the Variety Box. I am looking to do a Kickstarter at the moment and look forward to your support! I will be sure to post some more pictures soon.

I think the primavera and seronda decks are among the most beautiful decks ever made. Unfortunately I haven't picked them up yet, I hope I can pick up all four of them at the same time.

DON'T WAIT.  I can't make it any plainer than that.  They're already not so easy to find and demand will spike when the summer and winter decks come out.

Hm, ok, I couldn't miss that. There are two versions of these, right? Gold and silvery something? I'm opening all my decks, so which ones are more readily available, and what prices would be considered fair?

First was Gold Edition.  Second was Platinum Edition.  On eBay, Gold runs in the ballpark of $25/pair, Platinum is just under $20/pair.  They won't stay there when the new decks hit.  They are not easy to find - very few offers on eBay right now.

Thanks, Don. I'll keep an eye out for the platinum edition, I think.

I'm glad that you guys are interested in the decks! I've decided to pull the trigger over the nervousness and set a date for August 25th to launch the KS. Here is a preview of what the Inverno back will look like:

Have you decided on a manufacture yet?

Cool!  I just picked up my first set of Seasons v2 Platinum about a month ago.  I found a set of opened decks I picked up today, that I can take out and actually enjoy.

Really looking forward to Verana and Inverno...  Probably more so than any other deck (that I can afford) this year.

It will be a slightly more expensive production to go with USPCC in comparison to EPCC but its necessary to maintain the texture and consistency through the series. I wanted to make sure that those that currently own the first series will be happy to have the sets match.

You should contact EPCC, anyway.  I'm pretty sure they can produce a stock and finish that matches that of USPC.  Just ask - the worst that would happen is that they say no.

Winter is the last and harshest of  the seasons, Destroying  and killing much of what the past seasons cultivated. The  beauty of  winter to me  (besides hot  snowboarding girls) comes with a sense of rebirth. New life, new knowledge. Winter has always stuck me as a time for new beginnings.
(And hot snowboarding girls)
This is your art, stay true to Your vision , I advise taking a look at expert and see how they could help add to your project, if they can't then rock on with uspcc.

I like to call paper coatings a finish. It makes Don happy.

Thank you to whomever first posted this, you have exposed me to such beauty and I just got my seronda and primavera decks today, I can't stop running my fingers over the glorious embossing and sensual foil of the box.
I think USPCC did a great job on these and also I think consistency with a series is important.

(OK, Rose, try not to drool on them...)  :))

Seriously, this will be among the most anticipated releases of the year.  And that's no small feat.
