Anyone know if there's a list somewhere of each emoticon? I just got :balloonicorn: and haven't seen it yet on the market.
Other than that, I can see a lot of people getting canned for thinking it's alright to create tons of new accounts to funnel cards into their main (just like the coal fiasco).

You probably could get a good $100 for that right now.
You need to have steam guard enabled for 15 days before you can buy / trade anything, and I don't think you're getting in any other way anytime soon

By that logic, if this amount doesn't refresh, does that mean people with level 2 badges and up basically bought/traded to get 100% of those badges? That seems counter-intuitive to playing the game.
It's like you're rewarding SOMEONE ELSE for the time YOU put into the game.
It's a funny coincidence that all of this happened today:
a) I suddenly decide to spend the evening playing Ace Combat 5 after a two year long hiatus
b) Then I go on to discover that there is a sale on Assault Horizon; however I don't really want to spend any money at the moment
c) And finally I learn about the Trading Cards beta which gives me means to make a profit with a little I have left in my Steam wallet and actually buy Ace Combat: Assault Horizon
It's like playing Ace Combat: Assault Horizon is my destiny.

So...are you randomly assigned half of the possible cards for each game, and that's why you're forced to trade for the other half?
Does that mean you can keep getting duplicates of those cards as you play and just keep trading or selling them?
Isn't that basically free games for idling in a game perpetually?

I hit the limit of four in HL2 and only got 3 uniques.
But their description seemed to make it clear you can only get half of a collection yourself. So MAYBE you can only get that half EACH DAY?
Duplicates count toward the limit of card drops, so it doesn't look like you can always get half the possible cards unless you don't get any duplicates.

Well see I figure that if you can get your Steam level up to something like Level 22 based on that image, that seems to imply you need to craft these things many many times to get to those levels, so I figure you might be able to get your "set" of half the badges each day/week/whatever.

I got an extra Pyro, so if anyone is trading and not just selling on the market I'd trade for a card I don't have
Right, but does that mean that you basically do this once, and are pretty much done with the random part of the collecting forever, having to rely solely on the marketplace for more cards?
Yeah, see:
So the question is, does that mean "collect your half and trade for the other again" or "go trade TF2 and DOTA 2 in-game items for cards to make the badge again"

Well, I'm level 12 already...
No one really knows yet if there's a reset point, but it appears that way :O

I've already three Riki cards and sold them on the Marketplace. People seriously want these things?

Levels DO count towards things.
Every level boost your friends list limit by 5.
Yeah.

Just read about the foil cards, this also seems to imply some sort of reset:
You can't technically reach level 10 without collecting badges first, so it would seem that you can keep getting your half of the cards.

I have an extra sniper if you want to trade?
Edit: Trade complete! Thanks

I started at level 11. I got to level 12 by leveling up the Community badge.
I already had the treasure hat from the Summer stuff, a bunch of golden tickets, the golden potato, etc. All those events counted. Even my 9 years of service.

Steam will make you buy a game again if you want to reset its card drop limit. Genius.

I sold mine at a dollar. I wonder if I should just buy a bunch and drive the price up...

so i can only get 4 card drops per game and i have to trade for the rest?
Spy profile background, sentry emoticon, some random 50% off coupon (plus 1 TF2 Badge & 100xp)

Half of the collection, rounded up. So 9 and 10-card sets give you 5 per game.
You can craft the cards into a badge (which you can keep and put on your profile).
On top of that you can might craft a background and an emoticon of varying rarity. For Dont Starve I did this until Level 4, which was the last level. The backgrounds and emoticons arent selling atm though, so I think the cards are actually worth more than the results of the crafting.
How did you get so many cards? Trading random people, dumping piles of cash into the market?
Bought cards cheap for about 1$, sold background plus emoticon for about the same as the cards cost me (since you only need 5 for Dont starve). Backgrounds for ~2$ and emoticons for ~3$. I didnt make any profit in the end, but it didnt cost me anything either. It had the benefit of pushing me from level 7 to 11 for about 0€ though to get the chance for those foil cards.
*idles in HL2 through the night*
Yeah, I got a bit late into it, but still managed to make 15 off reselling, which I then invested in the basically free level 4 upgrade for don't starve. Those card prices are going a bit up already though, so it might not be as effective anymore.
Looks like my Steam cards is bugged. I'm not earning any dota2 cards. Luckily I already made $15 selling cards so I'm happy.
Yea, something's up. All my card panels disappeared from my badges section along with my Steam inventory. Thank goodness I already sold all my cards.
You only get DOTA 2 cards if you've purchased something for the game to keep people from farming free copies.
Does that include cheap stuff on the market or only purchases from the game store?
I assume in-game because of how cheap market items can be, but I honestly do not know for sure.
