To those saying you could not have traded cards on Mt. Gox:
"sometime around late 2007, the service went live for approximately three months before McCaleb moved on to other projects" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mt._Gox#Founding_(2006-10) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mt._Gox#Founding_(2006-10)
Gwern: "we know
the mtgox.com domain had a landing page discussing a forthcoming Magic card trading site (because a 2007 page is in the Internet Archive), but we can't find any evidence that there was any actual trading going on. Did anyone ever actually trade card for card or money for card on Mtgox.com?" McCaleb: "yeah they did" https://www.gwern.net/docs/bitcoin/2014-mccaleb https://www.gwern.net/docs/bitcoin/2014-mccaleb
- tomc1985 8y agoIndeed. archive.org isn't helping jog my memory but I was buying cards around 2005-2010 from a number of sites, including Mt.Gox.
- Thorrez 8y agoI did read the Wikipedia part before posting my comment. Wikipedia seems to have no non-paywalled sources for the statement that it went live "sometime around late 2007". Thanks for the Gwern link, it's interesting.
