About the Steam Summer Getaway Cards

I have around 65 foil cards from the era. Hope it could bring some cash in. Though I'm not happy with the graphs, doesn't look promising. Constantly fighting with a wish to craft 5 level foil badge. I think I could manage a few weeks more, maybe a month. I'm not sure I can trust myself on that...
Should wait? I don't know now...
Any one else here who sits on a pile of foil cards like meh?

The first (of many) problems the hoarders are going to run into is lack of awareness. Steam won't be advertising the old set anymore, since they'll have moved on to new decks or new projects. And it's not like there's an empty deck in people's inventory. Nor is it a wearable badge for others to see. So, the only people there to inform potential new customers of the old deck are the hoarders themselves. Which means an expense of time and/or money for advertising.

trying to game the market can be tricky. Trading cards aren't a very good long term investment in general but if you can get cards that aren't made anymore like the summer cards at a low enough price you might be able to make a small profit. Usually I just go for the quick easy profit instead of the long term since the market can be very unstable at times.

I remember when this happened with the 1978 Silver Anniversary Edition Corvette.

As time goes by, these things simply become curios, of interest to a diminishing market, most of whom have already fillws their boots with as many Summer Cards as their inventories will hold.

Just about anyone who wanted one got one at the time, since they were so readily available and comparatively inexpensive. Unless something changes, and these become the digital equivalent of Wonka's Golden Tickets, there is such a ludicrous surplus of them that it will be a buyer's market from now until Doomsday.

Nothing is worth money when everyone knows about it. A collector might want it a few years down the road, but so many people thought it was easy money so they bought them and hoarded them. It will take a long time for them to get value back.

I currently have like 3 or 4 pages of them. I could sell them for a penny each and it would still be a profit, technically. But I don't currently have any plans to sell them as the amount I'd get would be so little it wouldn't be worth the effort to list them, and holding on to them for an indefinite amount of time doesn't hurt me in any way. So... yeah.

And?
