The only logical thing to do is sell them. Cosmetic crap is pointless and people actually buy them. I sold my Monster loves you cards for 6 bucks total about 2 hours after it was announced to have cards. 6 bucks for some digital cards. Legit.

Thanks, both games are already listed in the Reddit thread.

There is a "hidden" sale for Go Home Dinosaurs! right now. 75% off making it 2,50€ or something equivalent in your currency. Just a tip for card/badge collectors.
Comment has been collapsed.
so basically for card crafting U can get: badges (cosmetics), and worthless, nice looking backgrounds or emotickons (yeah, I know there are some rare ones), right?
Isn't it more profitable just to sell the cards if someone is not interested in his profile looking 'attractive'?
Comment has been collapsed.
Woot, I have Anodyne and Blocks that Matter, not that Blocks that Matter works well for me, but I can get it to start enough to idle.

How do you get booster packs without buying them in the market?
Comment has been collapsed.
Booster packs: Players who have collected all the trading card drops they can for a game and have used Steam in the last week will randomly receive booster packs. These packs contain three additional cards for the game, and may contain foils.
Comment has been collapsed.
What's important is the number of drops, not the cards you have in the inventory.
If you used all your drops for a game, you should be eligible for booster packs for this game.
Comment has been collapsed.
I had one just drop for me for Trine 2. I sold all my cards for that game, so it looks like anyone who got all their normal drops can get one.
It came with three cards, and two were the same even. No foils for me still.

Added info about the latest update to the OP
Booster packs
Game Collector Badge
Profile Game Count

Nice, they fixed the game counter bug AND added booster packs. The question is, how many booster packs can you drop for one game and how long do you have to wait until you drop one ?
And now, a little sad note : we won't get Bastion cards, at least in the near future. They're currently focusing on Transistor, but haven't ruled out the possibility. In other words, "no, but maybe later".
Comment has been collapsed.
I'd say it depends on which card. A common weapon really isn't worth much, 2 cents or so.

Booster packs: Booster packs are additional cards for games that will drop periodically. Anyone who has collected all the trading card drops they can for a game and have used Steam in the last week may receive one of these booster packs. These packs contain three additional cards for the game, and may contain foils. If you receive a booster, you will get a "1 new item in your inventory" alert.
Game Collector Badge: There's a new badge which will grant you XP based on how many games you have in your Steam library. This badge replaces the "100 XP for having at least one product registered" message at the bottom of the badges page.
Profile Game Count: The number shown next to the "Games" link on the new profile should now more closely match the number of games shown in the Steam library.

A little Steam trading cards FAQ:
Note: Most questions are already answered in the official FAQ
Q: How many / Which Steam games drop cards?
A: See official FAQ, though this thread seems a bit more complete ;)
You can also use the advanced options in the Steam store search
Q: How many cards does game X drop?
A: Each game drops 50% (rounded up for odd numbers) of the total card number, it's also part of the official FAQ.
Q: What cards / emotes / backgrounds / arts are available for game X?
A: See either steamcardexchange.net, Steam Trading Cards Wiki or SG TC Art Collection (discontinued)
Q: What are Mystery Cards and how do I get them?
A: It's not sure what they do, but you can get them from crafting badges since the latest updated (July 3rd) more info
Edit: Mystery cards turned into Steam Summer Getaway Trading Cards on July 11th.
Q: What are Steam Summer Getaway Trading Cards?
A: Summer cards FAQ
Q: So now I know how to get cards, but how do I get backgrounds / emotes / XP to level up my Steam account?
A: By crating a badge (a full set of cards, see official FAQ)
Q: I've hit my card drop limit, how do I get more cards?
A: You don't. The only way to get more cards is by trading or buying them on the market. Exception: TF2 and Dota2 - you will get one more card drop for every $9 spent on the ingame store. However there are plans to improve this (see next Q/A entry).
EDIT: The recent update (June 18th) introduced Booster Packs
Q: Where are my TF2/Dota2/Warframe/other F2P trading card game cards?
A: You only get the cards for those 2 F2P games, if you either were TF2 premium or bought something from the Dota2 store before the beta started. Now you have to spend money in the ingame store to get card drops. For a more detailled information you should check out the games "How do I earn card drops?" link on your badges page or visit the game forum.
Q: Will I get card drops of game X, that's supposed to drop cards, if I don't own the game but play it during a free weekened?
A: Nope, Valve is not stupid, no freebies for you.
Q: How much is my card worth?
A: Check the market, the prices are changing all the time, depending on supply and demand - simple economics.
Q: I have a question that's not answered in this FAQ.
A: Well, that's not a question per se, but chances are your question is already covered in the official FAQ.
