All the different "Expert at the Card Table" decks?

I recently purchased an "Expert at the Card Table" deck hoping to collect it. After researching online and after looking at what I have, I realised that there were many versions. The one I have, the seller claimed that only 1,500 were produced, did not specify which company did it. I didn't open it for fear of spoiling the card but it was packaged like a NOC deck. Whereas the pictures I see online has the flap on the width.

I have attached two pictures from the internet, one showing the one I have purchased and one showing the one I have seen.

Does anyone know the differences other than the Joker and Ace cards?

There's been several different decks dedicated to Erdnase in one way or another. Several from CARC, a couple from E, and I've seen a few floating around from other creators.

The first one posted, has The Expert at The Card, printed on the back I think which is pretty common,https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/a3/de/46/a3de461c0110ca6698ede26d1fdb26fb.jpg. The second one is has a back very similar to the Bee decks, a green back with white borders, https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/...7JGc31zJuqAC8EKPQ3mY5660MS8YUwCg9tj8v9PKX3nIb

The bottom one is either the original EATCT deck or the V2 version. To tell them apart, the V1 has the back design on the back of the tuck, a diamond back similar to bee decks. The V2 version is just a green box with the name on the front and spine of the tuck, with the writing being a slightly darker shade than the V1. These are printed on Aristocrat stock from USPCC.

I believe the one you bought were put out by penguin magic. The sidewards tuck suggests EPCC, but USPCC may have printed them. They also released a white one before this.
There's a lot of SWE/EATCT inspired decks out there, too many.
Bee 1902 Smith Backs from CARC in blue, red, black and smith no.2
Bee 1902 Acorn back, from CARC. Came in 2 green versions, red, silver and black
Bee 216 from CARC, inspired by the original Squeezers (awesome deck) in two colours, orange and green
Erdnaseum Commemorative Playing Cards, distributed by D&D and CARC. Had a worm like back, and an awesome ambigram that read SW Erdnase and WE Sanders.

Then E and TBC did some stuff which, personally, I don't care for too much but they have been pretty popular amongst some people.

Hope this helps.
