you don't have to. He was just quoting whatever others (unreliable sources) were or have been telling him. You won't miss a thing at all.

It is true that ZJK probably is the only reason that blade is still in production and we owe him a debt of gratitude just for that because it is a truly awesome blade.

As for the black tag craze, some but not all of them play really nice, especially the production runs from around 2007-8.  I have a few of those.  Great blades.  I'm not sure ZJK has anything to do with the black tag craze. 

I think some of the latest ones are also really nice, as best as I can tell from the ones I have hit with (total of 4, not my own), as good as any that have ever been made.  In my mind no doubt that they are better than the silver tagged ones of a year or two ago, which felt kind of hollow to me and were often far too light.  ZJK gets whatever kind of Viscaria he wants, I'm sure, at whatever weight, whatever handle dimension, balance, etc. etc..

What people are asking for some of the black tag ones, though, is like the stock market in July of 1929.  And depending on vintage, is no guarantee it will play in a particularly special way.

Baal, what serial numbers are those made in 2007-08, starting with J and K?

Berndt, you were blackballed from the Viscaria club by a secret vote of its members (who are part of the New World Order and the famous Jade Helm consipiracy).  The only way you can become a member is on the following conditions:  You must renounce all past comments and refuse to make any future comments on anything related to table tennis, it's players, championships, rules, strategies, serves, techniques, clothing, or equipment that occurred or were in use prior to, let's say, 2006.  For example, that would mean you would be able to comment about Liu Guoliang the coach, but not Liu Guoliang the player.  Bernie Bukiet, definitely off-limits.  Perhaps once per year, on grounds of good behavior, we would allow one and only one comment about, say, Dragutin Surbek, or even Errol Caetano.  But not Barna or Bergmann.  You must also renounce any past or future comments except those that pertain to spin oriented modern table tennis with inverted rubber on at least one side of the blade.
