My biggest financial blunder occurred at the ripe old age of six. It wasn't failing to buy up property in 2008, nor was it failing to swipe a popular domain name, although those probably would have come in handy. No, the mistake that haunts my nightmares was six year old Elie bringing an immaculate Umbreon Undaunted holo to the playground, despite my dad telling me not to because it was pretty and I wanted to show my friends. It's been downhill since then.
Bear in mind this is just a $20,000 card which has since been chewed up and spat out. But in the high stakes world of TCG it barely compares, especially not against Magic: The Gathering's exclusive The One Ring card—part of a Lord of the Rings crossover expansion—which is valued at an eye-watering $2 million.
