By only trading registered and serialized cards, rarity and trading would be protected from copying (which would spoil the fun anyway). I wonder if some DRM scheme could be easily adapted to this? A quick interface development project and a hosting site, and some of you would be the next Google. Please save me 1% of the stock, OK?
The online card thing has been done with MTG before, as to the serialisation, it'd still be important to have them in real life too, simply because you can have Regional/National Exclusive cards.
