Ordered!

Would these then be the 2012 Heritage Design Series"?

I also ordered the "gold box" Heritage Series (I already have the other Heritage Design Series (Acorn, Automobile #2, Lotus & Nautic). Would that one be the 2011 Heritage Design Series?

In an email exchange, bmpokerworld confirmed that they were issued in 2011.

The 2010 Heritage Series decks were

Pneumatic #1 (Red, 1894 -1908)
Tri-Tire #2 (Blue 1905 – 1927)
Chainless (Blue, 1899 – 1917)
Pedal Back (Red, 1899-1917)

The 2012 set was the Lotus, Acorn, Nautic and Automobile No. 2. Theory11 seemed to release this first.

You are right CBJ. There were 3 sets issued.

The 2010 and 2011 sets were frst released at BJs Wholesale Club stores in retail packaging. The deck sellers eventually acquired them and sold them as well - I suppose without the packaging.

The 2012 set first showed up at Theory11 with a special bag/sack included along with 4 decks.

2010 - Tri-Tire 2, Chainless, Pedal, Pneumatic
2011 - Cupid, Model 1, Emblem, Safety
2012 - Lotus, Nautic, Automobile 2, Acorn

I corrected a mistake in my first post where I listed the 2012 decks as 2011.

<drums his fingers impatiently>

I should be receiving a shipment from BMPokerworld any day now, with:

1. 2010 Heritage Edition Series (4 decks)
2. 2011 Heritage Edition Series (4 decks)
3. Grimoire

Nine more Bikes in my collection any day (that should make a little over 120 different decks now)!
