When the whole Steam Card program happened, I probably lost out on a lot of packs because I was slow in getting all my drops from various games. First I had to download the game, then play it (or as I found later, leave it on while I did something else) for however long it took all the free drops to happen, and then and only then could I get packs.

I had quite the backload mostly because when bundles first began, I tried getting all of them... until there just became way too many. As well, some games are so huge that you don't keep them on your computer at all times.

As I write this, I'm down to 2 left. Cook, Serve, Delicious!: I have 2 of the 4 drops left. The Bureau: XCOM Declassified: all 4 drops left.

How close are you to having all your drops?

Same. It's a waste of money not to get all your drops.

I tried real hard when trading cards first started (through the beta and later) but its gotten kinda out of hand lately, at least for someone with a large library like me. after almost 200 different games that I have collected all drops from, I am still under 1/3 and that % is getting smaller by the day.

Heh, yeah your library is quite a way larger than mine.
Still, 100+ games with cards that I sat through and got isn't bad ^_^

195 drops remaining. Assuming 20 minutes per card, that's 64 hours.

I only play ~10-15 hours/week, and I avoid "idling" for cards, I want to at least try the game.

I recently learned that the devs choose the time necessary to drop a card.
Detective Case and Clown Bot in: Murder in the Hotel Lisbon is set at 50 min for example.

I usually get all my drops the within 24 hours of buying the game. I found I can idle on more than 1 game at time - that helps.

I idle for cards in games I know I won't play. Where are people getting the approximate worth of their remaining card drops though?

Pfft, like 50 cards across 14 games have yet to be collected. Small potatoes from the looks of it though...

BTW, I should mention here that Galactic Arms Race, which most people around here should have as there was a 25,000 copy giveaway AND it was in a bundle, just added cards.

I'm not sure how people are getting exact numbers and estimated value, but if you go into Steam, mouse over your name on the menu bar, then select Badges, you'll see a list of games you have badges in, games where you have card drops remaining, and other games you've recently played that have cards.

Every Time I get to 0 Card drops another bundle comes out & multiple games I own get cards themselves.

I went from 0 a week ago to 20+ this week alone O_O

I have no idea in how many games I have drops left (or how to check if there is an easy way to count them all) but they're quite a lot. :D

When I start a game I prefer to play it till I'm done with it (with a few exceptions), so card collecting is rather slow. Idling is just such a waste of potential play time- I tried it once... it was so pointless. :/
