Magic The Gathering cards were the NFTs of our generation
still better than beanie babies
Nov 5, 1999, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA: Attorney Frank Totti looks over papers while his client Frances Mountain sorts out Beanie Babies with her ex-husband Harold Mountain in Judge Gerald Hardcastle’s Family Courtroom in Las Vegas November 5. The couple, who were divorced four months ago, were ordered to divide up the collection valued at $2,500 to $5000 but were unable to do so by themselves. The collection was ordered spread on the court floor and divided up one by one under the supervision of Family Court Judge Hardcastle.
Nice! This is just silly. But if it were magic the gathering cards, I would understand.
Which was STILL better than the beanie babies of 1930, which were childhood illnesses, bankruptcies, and foreclosures.
