What I don't get is that they still maintained the price. We all know that these would cost less than USPCC, wouldn't hurt to pass along the savings they had. But greed...

Can't believe your completing about a $5 price tag which I believe is a buck less than before if I'm not mistaken. We all just paid 4 times as much for the Zenith as a price comparison.

That's like comparing a Yugo to a Mercedes. Of course the Yugo is cheaper.

Part of the cost for the Zenith is the design cost. So as much as Paul is the sole creator/designer of the Zenith, there's a lot of time and effort to go into that. While for the NOCs, they're a reprint or a modify reprint of something they've done already. So even if production of the two decks are similar, which I'm sure they're not due to extras in the tucks/etc., not all things are equal.

I'd rather have 1 Zenith than (another) 12 dozen NOCs... I understand what minimalist is, I just don't understand why these continue to sell when there are so many perfect alternatives at the same price-point.

The compare stinks
Just wait a few weeks for a blowout sale and you will get the NOC Decks for $2.50 - be patient!

Same here Mike. Never bought a single deck the NOCs, there was no there there.

I wasn't trying to say they were worth the same or anything but in the end to most people a card is a card.

Maybe these new editions will have super-duper handling?

Now available again

Not sure if this has been posted already or if this is old news but I haven't noticed this until now. Looks like NOC v3s are being reprinted and should be available soon on Legends website:
