From everything that I've read on the subject, the platform didn't exist before Mark's team was involved.
MTGOX was intended as, but never used for, exchanging "Magic: The Gathering" cards because the infrastructure to actually use it as an exchange was never built out. The company didn't pivot from one technology to another -- because there is no indication that they ever had anything more than the domain name in place.

It's a shame a magic card trading site would have turned out better for him.

No way dude! Those people are savages...damn serious about their cards. One screw-up and Mark would have been fugu the first time he had to rollback everyone's card packs! Crypto-hippies were the way safer audience (er, dupes) for his style.

Nah.. I think things probably turned out fine for *HIM*... Him running a card trading site instead of a bitcoin site would have turned out a lot better for us though for sure..

I'm sure he's got a personal wallet worth a fair sum and will be retiring in the south of France any day now.
