Normally mid-july or something like that, they should be ready to ship... That's what I heard I think

I love the look of these. They're simple, luxurious, and my favorite color is red!
I can't wait to receive them.

They do look amazing. I really want to know how these feel. They can't arrive to soon. I love the little holes in the box. Just incredible...

The tuck box art is meant to simulate the appearance of fine leather from a luxury car. You do know that those "holes" are just dots of black ink, right?

As of right now, less than 700 decks remain at HOPC.

Well, it's darn well simluated

Evan · « **Reply #54 on:** June 23, 2012, 12:56:35 PM »

I got an email saying that there are only about 500 decks left.

Have to say it is elegant looking. Does anyone have better quality pictures of the faces? I'm very curious to see them, although I fear they will be standard like the Mana's faces.

With this deck selling as fast as it is, I went ahead and placed another order for a few more decks. Just want to make sure I have enough before they sell out. Cant wait to see this deck and tuck box in person. And yes Don, it reminds me of leather too from the bucket seats of an exotic sports car.

This really wants to just make you touch this deck. I hope I won't be dissapointed

Looks like the Verve decks are on their way out. Got a shipping notice from HOPC today that it was sent today. Probably looking at Monday delivery (though it could be Saturday depending how fast USPS wants to work)

Evan · « **Reply #61 on:** August 02, 2012, 04:38:57 PM »

I got a shipping confirmation too! I'm really looking forward to seeing these in person.

Unfortunately I didn't pick these up yet. However I will be more than happy to trade or buy these in the after sale. The leather effect rendered seems very smooth and nice looking, and I think it's one of the first decks to be like this.

Evan · « **Reply #63 on:** August 09, 2012, 04:56:53 PM »

I received mine today and they're really beautiful! Their name is very fitting.
Review coming soon.

Evan - I'm thinking that just like how we don't want people promoting deck sales in the PCP since we have a separate forum for that, you shouldn't really be pushing your reviews here either. We have a whole forum dedicated to them now - blow your horn there all you want about your reviews.

Just saw these on Ebay for $40! Are they really worth that much? I don't believe they are.

I've said this before - and always hope I'll never have to say it again, but here we are...

A deck - any deck - is worth exactly as much as someone is willing to pay for it at a given moment in time. Nothing more, nothing less.

By the way, WHICH eBay are you looking at? 'Cause I just checked eBay.com, and they have three listings - two "buy it nows" for $14.95 each and an auction starting at $25 with zero bids and six days left.

It was up there for $40
It was one of Lazarus's decks, he always puts things up really high (fishing for idiots) and then lowers it after a day or 2. He has it up for $20 right now http://www.ebay.com/itm/Verve-Playing-Cards-By-HOPC-/221095529644?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item337a520cac#ht_500wt_1365

Actually I am pretty impressed with the picture he took of the front he captured the metal foil well

You called that right - it's really effing hard to get the metallics to show, especially when it's metallic ink on a card, but this box would have been nearly as difficult, I think. The photos themselves aren't gorgeous (the lighting does look a little odd), but it was probably a necessary tradeoff to get the foil to show, which it does.
