Light Blue and Sun Orange NOC? From The Blue Crown Summer Club?

[Don Boyer]

Ah cool, I thought we were gona get it sent to our emails.
Just checked my BC account, nothing yet.

EDIT: just saw the BC FB page, says Magick Balay will be with us soon regarding the first download .. Happy days

Magick's a cool guy and does some great work - creative and skilled.

The Summer Club vids will be sent out to members in weekly emails - a la the "Free from AP" series.  They will NOT appear in your account on the site when you log in.

First vid should most likely be going out to all members later on today.  Keep an eye on your inboxes.

Y'know, one of these days I'm going to get these things right...

These two decks are finally coming out - HOPC will sell them tomorrow at 8pm Eastern (Wednesday 00:00 UTC).  They've announced that they're a limited edition, never to be reprinted, unlike the other five colors.

They're also releasing for the first time a NOC custom brick box.  Should be interesting.

I give up (searching).  What does NOC stand for (if anything)?

I believe it is Nothing On Cover.

I thought it was No Ordinary Cards, but PrincessTrouble is correct, it's Nothing On Cover.

I thought it was "Nothing, only color"

I've talked with Kevin Reylek about this.  Initially, it was just a name that Alex Pandrea dreamt up - it didn't have a meaning.  Kevin mentioned to me that in-house, before they were released, he was retrofitting the word to be an acronym, calling it "Nothing, Only Color".  I have no idea if they ever settled on that as the official meaning, though I do remember they had a contest about it on their Facebook home page for HOPC.  If you want the answer, try digging there.  I think they did the contest around Holidays '12, but I can't say that with certainty.  The contest wasn't about inventing an acronym but about guessing the real acronymic meaning.

I have to say, though - Nothing On Cover has a familiar ring to it.  That MIGHT have been the contest winner.

Thanks all. I was thinking Not Otherwise Classified....

Hey guys.  Very excited to bring these to you tonight!  As stated, these are a limited run (Under 2k of each color available) and will not be printed again.  So I'd recommend picking them up tonight if you're planning to get them.

The brick boxes are cool - sort of like bigger versions of the tucks.

As for the meaning of NOC - there is no official meaning.  We did hold more of a "survey" than a contest on Facebook asking people what they thought it meant.  There was no winner, just some interesting kicking around of ideas.

I personally like "Nothing, only color".  But I should clarify that we have ALWAYS referred to them with NOC as a word (like knock) rather than individual letters (N-O-C).  You'll never hear me or Alex say N-O-C when referring to these. 

They'll be available on HOPC starting tonight at 8PM eastern (New York) time.
