:(

Edit - Undercut, now under $2. D:

Gabe is obviously one of those hateful republicans! Why else would he keep you from getting a foil trading card, after all?

What happened to the, "I'm not going to participate or sell anything", attitude? You even have a background. :)

I still haven't got a foil, but I have ended up with so much money off from cards that I can't really complain. I get at least 3 new games a week, just off from some idling. The card system is dying, though. The rare games still make decent money, but most of them are ones that everyone has, so they just aren't worth anything. I'm seeing cards for like ~$.25 USD within half an hour of the new games being announced. The guessing game of which ones to start with is kind of fun, though. Rare, expensive, or rare and expensive.

Yeah its slowing down a lot, Got a good 30 bucks so far though, probably gonna put it towards Saints Row 4 if they come through on the toolset.

Still most games have 3-5 cards, still a couple bucks each week at 25 cents a card if we have the required games, no complaints here.

Yeah, I'm not complaining about the drop numbers. I have 122 cards sold, so far. I have noticed it is taking longer with the games to get the cards, that is getting kind of annoying. I am idling all day, now, just to get them. Small price to pay for free money.

On a side note, I was going to play as you in The Political Machine 2012, when I got it the other day. I ended up going with Bill, though. I am ashamed. :)

Pro-tip: download Steam Achievement Manager and open a game in there instead of actually opening it in Steam. It still counts as idling for trading card drops, but you don't have to be running a game in the background.

Thanks, but it isn't the idling that is worrisome, it is the amount of time. It was like 14 hours for me to get all the cards. That is just ridiculous. Maybe it is just me, but it feels like it takes 2 or 3 times as long to get cards, especially after the first drop. I am wondering if they are catching on to people not really playing some of the games. Maybe next time, when I reach the stage of not caring which game I do next (After I get the one or two with the good paying cards out of the way), I will try leaving the games after a single card drop, and see if that works. I'll just keep switching games.

wait im new to this, so you can idle a game and get cards. so like just start the game and leave it at the menu and you dont even have to play but just accumulate gametime running?

thanks, and also i see each game gives u a set amount of drops and there is no way to earn more drops past that amount per game correct? so this in theory locks you to a certain amount of total posible drops and once u max out you cant get more right? beyond getting a new game that is

Selling was out original since I couldn't use the store at all. That finally got fixed, so I used it to grab some cheap games for this site. As for the other stuff, got them when they were cheap by selling cards. Certainly won't put my own money into there.

Of the 31 games in the trading card beta, I have 29 of them (well 30, but I wasn't premium on DOTA2 before the beta) and have gotten every single card from those games. Still no foils :(

At this point I just want to have one so I don't feel like Gabe hates me.

Congratulations on the foil though! $2 is better than nothing!

how do you get a foil, actually?
I know about getting cards when you play, but I wouldn't know anything about foils, emoticons etc.

Just a completely random drop. Works exactly like normal cards but are just rarer in dropping. As people have said, some people don't get them even after collecting many many normal cards. Personally, it was the 4th card I got. So it all just depends on luck.

aha! I see. Does it count as a card drop? or is it a "standalone"?

Emoticons show up with you craft a badge just like backgrounds and coupons. You get one per badge crafted.

as soon as I discovered you can't get all the cards needed to craft a badge on your own, I gave up on crafting badges, but I see now it's a common thing

If I could get games to not drop identical cards... 4 Mantis ships from FTL... Lots of dupes.

More interested in trading them to head towards a completed deck than anything else really.

yeah, I've gotten some dupes as well.. I actually collect the cards for nice backgrounds. Some of them are really cool

Yeah, it's pretty exciting to unpack a background I really like or a cool new emoticon. I know they're cheaper to just buy in the market but there's something special about crafting it yourself. Plus I want the card and badge collection anyway.

I got 3 so far from Half-Life2, Faerie Solitaire & SS3.

I accidentally sold the Faerie's Plea (Foil) for 40 cents when it was in the $12 range, was kicking myself over that, didn't notice it was a foil.

Still got the Witch-Bride of Achriman which seems to be selling under $2 atm but I listed it for $10 because I have a feeling that foil cards will increase in value later on.

I don't really understand why some people undercut by several euros when selling the foil cards. I've got 2 foils so far, which I sold for about 3-4€ each.

Want an advise? Keep your cards, they are not infinite, so when more people spend their cards doing badges their value will only get higher!

On the other hand when steam trading cards go out of the beta and release officialy the card value will drop.

With the introduction of Booster Packs aren't they now infinite? :p

Comment has been collapsed.

Yes and no. A badge needs 5-8 cards. And every booster drops 3 cards.

So, the only chance to keep them all is to give more than 1 booster pack for every badge crafted.
