So I tried to be clever and wrote to The Head Dude :

I can work hard but I need to know that you are playing your cards right. I have a Number of skills, but need a job that Suits me.

Is this it?

Reply:

yes, you're on the right track

now, just figure out From Alpha To Beta.

Pay attention to what's up and what's down.

Hmm so A to B? 1st and 2nd card?

Nighthawk

The three cards at the end are offset from the rest of the cards.

Considering the cards are in a multiple of five, and the new reference of Alpha to Beta, I'm thinking Bacon's cipher.

Further observations.

When the card face is viewed of 10C it has a torn corner and 9C is notched, but this characteristic is not shown when viewing the card backs.

Also the card backs have some markings which seem to imply grouping of some kind.

...and it's leadfarmer for the win! Great job Smile

Should we tell Loki what we found?

Course he solved it... he's a leadfarmer motherflipper!

Well - it says the "game is far from over" in the new images, but I imagine a lot of the rest of the game will hinge on what we find in the Old Soldiers comic. Who's going to order a copy?

Has anyone from New York thought of going down there if you're anywhere near it?

I am in Manhattan, so in theory I could go. I have the key I was sent.

EDIT: I emailed Sigyn saying sorry we couldnt help Loki more and asking if i should check out the Highbridge. Here is the response:
