Sorry bro, just re-read my last comment and it comes across angry. Not angry toward you, or trying to argue with you just venting. :)

I used to think there was no way they would do trading but i think there is a chance due to there a few ways this could work where Mobage could make up for any money they might lose from people not buying more tiers:

first, i actually feel like people may be more likely to spend money because they know if they buy and get two of the same versions they will be able to trade and get the other half. two people would then be happy.

second, people who are the big spenders and go for the latest and greatest cards would be able to trade some of their older cards and then would be encouraged to keep playing and spending.

third, they could charge a small fee or battle cubes (which would then encourage people to buy cubes) in order to trade. it could add another revenue stream.
