NOC V3 Clarifications

Unread post by badpete69 »

I know these decks can become confusing but i will be making some modifications to the NOC V3S in the databse. There are 3 different types of NOC V3

The first kind is the NOC V3 released by the Blue Crown and those are fine in the database. Now where it gets confusing is when the second printing came out. First Lawrence made an exclusive for LPCC and EPCC of which each got about 500 for sale. He first made these available on the LPCC website as Version 4 by error and then called it Version 3S. These deck have a special paper tuck box and the familiar EPCC gold seal.
Blue Crown then released their second printing and those do not have the gold EPCC seal. The problem is that they called it Version 3S also. I contacted both lawrence and Blue Crown to clarify and yesterday Lawrence confirmed that only them and EPCC/ Conjuring arts sell the gold seal decks and their name have been changed to V3SE

So I will update the database that has V3S with the V3SE pics as V3SE from LPCC. The only thing I am not sure about is what differentiate the BC V3 and V3s. Did anyone buy their V3S from Blue Crown and can clarify what the difference is between the 2 versions? If there are no differences between the 2 edition then we can simply add a note on the V3 that a V3S version was made

Ok I'll stop here before I confuse myself again hehehehehe

EDIT: I also switched the tuck pics so that the NOC is shown on the front of the tuck box like the other editions. One can argue that even though the seal is on the front, a sideways tuck box is front opening. Plus it looks better in the database and in your collection

Thanks for changing the names Pierre! I noticed yesterday that Legends had changed the name of the decks to v3SE and wasn't sure why they did that. Now it all makes sense :)

So reading through the Blue Crown website it seems that v3S decks have and I'm quoting: "subtle enhancements to the stock/finish as EPCC continues their journey to perfection". Personally I think we should add this edition to the DB as it has it's own 'name' so will help people keep track of what they have. I might grab a couple of the decks that are still in stock when I buy the soon to be released White Signature Series deck so will be able to tell if there is any difference on the tucks.

No you didn't! :o How dare you change the work that I've done! :lol: Only kidding...seriously, thank you for doing that. I did notice that other Noc decks have it the way you did these but wasn't sure which side is officially the front and which is the back :)

So just so I understand it correctly, on the side loading tucks the face side is the one with the seal/tuck flap? I've always been confused by these. I think we should come up with a system :)

I'm going off topic now so will probably start a new thread when I have more time as my OCD keeps picking at me :D because we have so many side loading deck entries in the DB and all of them have different Front/Back scans and some scans have the tuck flap on the opposite side of some others. Am I alone in this or do others feel like this needs a discussion? :ugthink:

Well take the Nomad deck from T11. The front of the tuck is clearly with all the words but they made that tuck open from the front and they put the seal on the front. Maybe there are just a few decks out there that go against the normal convention

I am good with adding the V3S Noc and for now we can use the same pics as the V3s until we find out for sure the exact difference

Seems silly to have so many versions of the same decks made, oh well.
