Steam Trading Cards : get trading cards and turn it into stuff

Woah, prices are in a downward spiral. I'm glad I got in on this early. I bought Rising Storm and CS:GO with the money I made from selling cards. Thanks Valve.
 
Don't Starve cards are probably going to be the rarest because its the newest non-F2P game right?

Hard to say. Keep in mind that people who don't have the game also won't be in the market for its cards, probably. So in theory the demand should be the same to others, just with on a lesser scale and it's actually how it is now.

Something I'm wondering about though is if I'll get my drops for Dota 2 now that I purchased a $1 flag from the store. Wouldn't be nice if the "1 drop per $9" rule already applied.
 
$9 for 1 card? Why not spend $10 to make 2 new accounts to get 5 cards (TF2) + however many cards Dota 2 gives?

Oh god I really consider buying CS:GO just for these damn cards.

New Account + Don't Starve = $15 for 4 cards.
New Account + Counter-Strike: Global Offensive = $15 for 4 cards.
New Account + Half-Life 2 = $10 for 4 cards.
New Account + Portal 2 = $20 for 4 cards.
New Account + $0.50 item in Mann Co. Store = 5 cards.
New Account + $0.75 item in DOTA 2 Store = 4 cards. (Someone correct me on DOTA 2 Premium requirements please)

Or: Spend $9 in DOTA 2/TF2 Store for 1 card.
 
I already did the trading card collecting thing as a kid. I remember spending $70 on some Wayne Gretzsky card about five minutes before that fad ended.
 
Also fuck me for buying an invite for 2,2€ just like 3 hours ago.

lol Yep it's pretty much a dead market now. They are easily found for 20 cents. I bought two more to give away to buddy's. Still sitting on four just in case but with more invites going out tomorrow I don' see them getting back upto 2 dollars like what I sold my first one for.
 
From what I gathered, you can only get the rest of the cards through trading or buying them.
Which is kinda strange because to level the badges you have to complete another set of the same 8 cards. Maybe the card timer will reset once a week or something like that?
 
Anyone want to trade for a Trouble undeground HL2 card? I have 2 extra and I'd like to finish out my hl2 set. I need a Alyx, G-Man, Gordan&Alyx, and Respite.
 
Is there any point to having an entire game's set? Can you craft an ultimate, super duper foil, card or something of the sort?
you craft badges with a set, and get an emoticon as a bonus or something

you can level up a badge up to 5, meaning 5 sets. they have different icons for each level and you gain more exp.
 
This is a genius move by Valve. They get a pretty large cut whenever somebody buys something on the market, don't they?

3rd set of data, for Don't Starve

Start 22:21
22:40 - Willow - +19m
23:04 - Willow - +24m
23:25 - Willow - +21m

21.3 minutes on average. So it is again suggesting the 20 - 25 minute card check if you are in game at that time.

4th Set of data for Cs:go

Start 23:58
00:08 - Swat - +10m
00.40 - Balkan - +32m
01.12 - IDF - +32m

Not sure if something changed or what but CS:GO clearly has a longer check cycle for the card drops.
 
Since I guess this is the best place for it, but I'd like to finish up my Portal 2 badge with 1:1 trades.

Looking for Portal 2: Destruction, The Lab, Mannequin, Underground

Willing to part with: HL2: Gordon & Alyx, Respite, Trouble Underground; TF2: Demoman, Engineer, Pyro, Sniper, Demoman
 
so I'm confused

roughly half of a set will drop for you, right?

but will you keep getting drops, or is there a hard cap on the total drops you can get, or is there a periodically resetting limit on drops?

basically, if I get a drop and then I sell it, will I have a chance to have that drop again?

There's a hard cap. Once you reach your limit you will never get a drop for that game again, though this could be changed in the future.
 
Trying to complete a TF2 set - need:

Engi, Pyro, Medic, Sniper, Soldier, Spy


Have for trade:
TF2: Scout x2
HL2: G-Man, Bring the fight to them, Trouble Underground
P2: Chell x2

PM me.
