Mark your calendars - This summer sale is HOT!

Here at HOPC we love the summer. It’s a perfect time to get together for a backyard poker game, hit the streets to perform some magic, or get out and film some awesome flourishes in a stunning environment.

We think there’s no better day than the 4th of July to celebrate the summer. Fireworks, cookouts, what’s not to love? To celebrate in our own special way we’re having the deal of a lifetime... $4 decks!

From Tuesday July 3rd at 8PM eastern until Wednesday July 4th at 11:59PM eastern ALL of our decks will be available for only $4! This is the perfect time to go patriotic with the Americana deck, or have a vibrant and colorful summer with the NOC deck! Stock up on some animated Mechanic decks or 100% custom Vaudeville decks. If you’re going for understated elegance, there’s no better choice than the Crown decks!

In addition to our insane deal on decks - we’re also going crazy with uncut sheets by offering them for only $17.76! This is the best deal you’ll ever find on limited, collectible art!

CONTEST: We have just created a "4th of July SALE" photo album on the HOPC facebook page! Simply tag yourself in any one of the photos in the album (not multiple). We will pick a random winner to receive 3 free HOPC decks of your choosing on July 3rd at 7PM eastern - 1 hour before the sale begins!

Supplies on some of these decks and sheets are running low, so we encourage everyone to hit this sale early while supplies last!

Thanks, and have a wonderful 4th of July!

That's a huge discount on the Americana deck, I bet the remaining stock goes pretty fast.

Huge, indeed - remember the Kickstarter decks were $5 and up.

If they run out, I still have mine to sell - I'm down to only six bricks now...

Wow. Whutta sale. That's really cool! And the 17.76$ uncuts are a nice little touch as well. Can't wait!

Does anyone know if the uncut Tuck Boxes will be included in the sale?

@Don... Your Americana decks do not have HOPC printed on the bottom, do they?

Ask me in 24 hours...

Seriously, I'd say it's possible, but they do cost a half more than their most expensive uncut sheet, so it's a fifty-fifty bet on whether they'll include them.

They ALL say "HOPC" on the bottom. The distribution deal was apparently inked prior to the cards being printed and packed. On the left side of the bottom, they all say "Designed by Circle City Card Co.", and on the right, "Distributed by HOPC". It would have been more expensive to make two different tuck boxes, don't you think? In fact, mine were sent to me not by Russ, but by HOPC, even though I got in as a Kickstarter investor. I think Russ might have kept a gross or two for sale on his site, and the rest went to HOPC for distribution to investors and HOPC customers.

I wonder what ever happened to the special brick boxes that he was going to make available? I know he said he had a limited number. But he clearly stated to me that they would be available for purchase. I will say thank goodness for HOPC with regard to bringing a level of professionalism that was severely lacking prior to the merger. After cooling down following the initial NOC debacle, I can honestly say that HOPs business sense and customer servic e skills are a great asset to those lacking in that department...

Hey everyone. Hope you all like the sale and take advantage of it!

We're starting the sale at 8PM eastern tonight (about 5 hours and 20 minutes after this post) because we know a lot of people will be partying, barbecueing, etc tomorrow so we wanted to make sure everyone has a shot at things.

The sale will go for 28 hours, until the very end of the day on the 4th (also eastern time). We do think there is a good chance that some decks will sell out, so we'd encourage everyone to check out the sale early to make sure you can get what you want!

I have yet to make a purchase at HOPC but I really appreciate how they handle things. The gentleman has been on both forums and despite taking some heat from a few people he maintained his cool and handled the situation very well. I am looking forward to buying something from them. I am placing a magic order and waiting to see what E is comming out with but I almost feel obligated to purchase something at HOPC as I truly like their business model.

Aaron · « **Reply #11 on:** July 03, 2012, 04:53:50 PM »

Its On NOW! And I didnt know everything was $4! THANK YOU HOPC

EDIT: It is gone now $:-\$ What is going on?

Reylek · « **Reply #12 on:** July 03, 2012, 05:02:28 PM »

Sale does not start for another 3 hours. Sheets are NOT $4.

We are getting things ready for the sale, and very briefly (a matter of under 1 minute) had a glitch in the site where all items were listed at $4.

We have already release our official times and prices for this sale - nothing is in effect until 8PM tonight. We would not begin the sale 3 hours early and not make an announcement about it.

Aaron · « **Reply #13 on:** July 03, 2012, 05:08:11 PM »

Ohhh, I made an order

How do I cancel it then?

Reylek · « **Reply #14 on:** July 03, 2012, 05:11:14 PM »

Hi Aaron. You were actually the only person to place an order during that brief window! Speedy on the mouse!

Our customer service team will take care of you ASAP.

Thanks!

Blue Crown and HOPC always have awesome sale! This sale is crazy and I'll probably be getting a couple Americana decks and possibly some Crown decks! Thanks HOPC!

He made the custom brick boxes available on his own website, as far as I know. I don't imagine they lasted long, either, since they were printed in small numbers.

Now - what merger are you talking about? HOPC and CCCC never merged. They just worked together on a single project, and may do more in the future, but they're both independent of each other.

One of Kevin Reylek's many talents is doing whatever he can to make customers happy. I've met the support team and they're all very pleasant and helpful. The only part of the team I haven't seen yet, to my knowledge, would be the warehouse staff!
