How long do I have to hold onto these summer sale trading cards before they're worth serious money?

There are over 30,000 of each on the market so, probably a long while.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Cards for Giana Sisters added?

You guys might have discussed this while I was

lol nice timing.

Concept art from System Shock 2.

I think that's fan art because the MC model looks nothing like that.

 

[Acccent]

mine was an entry

Okay two Vinci-esque paintings currently duelling for the top spot then

Thanks for reminding me to idle, Grief.

 

[ashecitism]

Easy difficulty patched in for GS? Might pick it up again. That first boss level pissed me off a couple of times.

 

[Soi-Fong]

Crap missed the 4 pack on Mercenary Kings..

 

[YianGaruga]

I think that's fan art because the MC model looks nothing like that.

The first time I saw it I thought is was some weird SS2 X Dead Space crossover thing.

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

yes, an excuse to finally finish Giana Sisters. (kinda left it at world 3 or 4 :\ )

 

[drizzle]

Thank you YianGaruga, Epicine and HoosTrax for allowing me to waste even more money (I stole that from you Yian, hope that's ok)

Yay, sprites!

I also bought Giana Sisters because, well... fuck it.

 

[Cth]

Blah.. of course my car picks NOW as the time for its battery to die

/cursed.

I was being silly with that comment

Tempted to craft a badge with them. I have 17. Even if I could sell them all for a total of $10, I wouldn't bother, and that seems extremely unlikely.

This is why I paid the premium for foils. I'm going to be rich! Rich, I say!

Giana Sisters is definitely worth it.
Although you'll want to stick with the easier difficulties on your first play-through.

The game has some really hardcore difficulties I can't imagine anyone would have fun with. They're the kind where when you die you have to start THE ENTIRE GAME OVER.

Yeah, I stopped playing at the first boss because it kicked my ass repeatedly. Great game, and one I'd like to master.

 

[YianGaruga]

Thank you YianGaruga, Epicine and HoosTrax for allowing me to waste even more money (I stole that from you Yian, hope that's ok)

Yay, sprites!

Thanks to you for organizing this, because I had that feeling that I didn't spend enough during the sale and this was just what I needed.

Sorry, the offer you tried to access has ended.

 

[scorpscarx]

Ewwwww coupons have returned.

Nice giveaway man, thanks for your generosity!

 

[KiDdYoNe]

Perfect ending for our little sale.

 

[HoosTrax]

Ewwwww coupons have returned.

Well at least my PC can take a break. I had it up and running all last week so I could Splashtop into it from work to start up games to idle for cards. I guess we're back to once per week now.

 

[Maxwood]

My post was a joke.

Mine wasn't. And besides, that doesn't make it any less fun responding. ^^

I'll accept my payment in skittles.

I'd love to watch this, but I don't want to get the game spoiled (I know, it's a 2D platformer, but I'm weird like that).

If you're Lime or Amir0x, I guess. Anyone who grabbed TR for $12.50 is stealing it, it's a great game. Not very replayable, though. Pretty much a once and you're done in about ~12 hours.

That game smells of "$7.50 or less".

Potential good news for people who don't have Stalker yet.

Shadow of Chernobyl + Call of Pripyat pack just added to the database

The games not being available wasn't the issue; they just weren't discounted.

I assume you've been keeping up with leaks throughout the sale? Thanks for keeping an eye out for stuff like this.

Free steam game:

Use ModBot, otherwise lurkers can grab those keys*

*Unless that was your intention.

 

[Grief.exe]

The games being available wasn't the issue; they just weren't discounted.

I know, but if they are adding in a new bundle then there is a good possibility that they are in contact with the IP owner.

If games are bundled, usually there is some kind of discount applied to the entire bundle. Valve has to get permission to authorize such a discount.

 

[X05]

But I heard Tomb Raider is modern gaming garbage??!?!

I'm thoroughly enjoying it, really fun game.

Not really a Tomb Raider game though.

EDIT:

Concept art from System Shock 2.

Specifially the Steam Trading Card

Thanks for the full res, wonderful desktop background

 

[jshackles]

[Cheddahz]

I think my favorite game(s) I picked up during the Summer Sale have to be Euro Truck Simulator 2 and The Secret World, haven't really played (or downloaded) the other games I bought yet

 

[The Wizard]

Thanks HoosTrax for Cargo Commander, interested in it since someone pointed out it was a rougelike.

 

[antitrop]

Not really a Tomb Raider game though.

That's pretty much the best thing about it.

 

[exmachina64]

.

 

[X05]

That's pretty much the best thing about it.

Which is why "Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light" was such an excellent game.

 

[Fuu]

I think that's fan art because the MC model looks nothing like that.

It's indeed fan art, by this guy.

It's not the only System Shock card that's using fan art either, "The Cyborg Midwives" one is too:

If games are bundled, usually there is some kind of discount applied to the entire bundle. Valve has to get permission to authorize such a discount.

If GSC and bitComposer were still arguing over who owns what, the Stalker games would have disappeared months ago (Valve is overly vigilant -- perhaps to fault -- about these matters), and they weren't the only examples of previous sale participants given the cold shoulder this Summer Sale.

 

[-tetsuo-]

And back to normal life we go.

 

[Deques]

And back to normal life we go.

Normal life? Sobs, next sale is way too long time

 

[Prophane33]

I actually spent most of my day so far PLAYING games instead of reading about them and/or buying them. The sale is truly over.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

I feel like i've emerged from a dream

welcome back to the bland life steam thread

 

[honorless]

There are over 30,000 of each on the market so, probably a long while.

Turnover has been quite high, though. So far today some 3500 cards are being sold per hour. (That's per card type, not across all cards.) Obviously that's an unusual level of demand -- during most of the sale it was closer to 1000.

I'm quite curious how long the market will remain at around 30k listings per card.

If GSC and bitComposer were still arguing over who owns what, the Stalker games would have disappeared months ago (Valve is overly vigilant -- perhaps to fault -- about these matters), and they weren't the only examples of previous sale participants given the cold shoulder this Summer Sale.

I was referring to contacting the IP owner and authorizing a discount.

They would have had to if they are planning to add this bundle officially to the store. And that contains a possibility of a future discount as well.
