I've lost count on how many versions and colors they have now. But suffice it to say I think Blue Crown is in financial trouble seeing as how they have been selling the NOC to other companies lately. At least Murphy's did a little something with it. Available now from Collectable Cards and elsewhere and this is one that you should save money on so use the code vjose32 for 10% off at CPC!

For all the crap we give E here for all their recolored Madison garbage, we certainly don't give TBC enough crap for these. Well I'm going to put a stop to that lol STOP MAKING NOCs!!! I cannot believe how many variations of a deck with one color back there are- it's mind blowing. Aside from Victorian Room (which was really cool), their creativity the past few years has been 3+ versions of repackaging 5 colors and a Black Friday deck named... wait for it... Black Friday. What is going on?

This is the worst case of recolor in the history of decks.

Damn that's ugly. And boring. But mostly ugly. I do hope that someday there won't be any new NOC decks made.

Oh and Happy Independence day for Finland! 99th birthday!

When you're not at all interested in completing this collection (or anything coming from TBC, for that matter), this variations are extremely funny. A Pantone NOC series would be absolutely awesome. Or NOC Blanks. I love seeing stuff like this being produced and sold, really!

Sadly they already have those- White NOCs were released last year. Not to be confused with Snow Leopard NOCs which were released a few months ago. If you thought white backs where pushing the envelope, HOLD THE PHONE! Those off-white, egg shell beauties are revolutionizing the playing card industry!

But it's not white white, pure white, there's that ugly BLACK line that breaks the minimal back design...

Still waiting for the Pink Valentine's NOC deck, then again there is the pink Magic Notebook from Bocopo now available. lol

It really is a shame what they did with these.

I really liked the first set
sure they were simple but they were nice and they worked great for games like hand and foot.

the worst thing they did to them though IMO was putting the marking system on them.

Another recolor! I understand the disappointment.

If only it were a MetalLuxe(R) foil rectangle...
