Personally I would collect boosters and trade cards until I have full sets, then trade them for marketable sets with sets4sets bots and then sell those marketable sets instead. It doesn't matter to people leveling up if the sets can be sold or not.
Most of those games will have huge surplus of cards still going around since they are shovelware sold for fractions of a cent to huge card farmers, which is why they got banned from Steam market to begin with and they still drop boosters so you're not very likely to find anything valuable there. Of course there are exceptions to this where the game was removed for copyright etc reasons so those games are actually rare and cards might have some value.

I just turn them in to gems as it is far easier. If you want to trade them then you could always look up their previous 'value' on Steam Card Exchange (https://www.steamcardexchange.net/index.php) as a reference. You can't trade unmarketable cards with that bot but it will at least give you a starting point for what your cards might be worth.

Thanks for the site link. I checked a couple games with non-marketable cards.
Here's an example I was hoping you could help interpret: Cloud Chamber shows all cards "value" at 7credits. Would that mean it was mostly a 7 "cent" card (USD) prior to no longer being able to trade? thanks for the tip on the website.

Not much more to add than what has been said above except you can find some Steam Groups that are dedicated to unmarketable items. One such group is:
https://steamcommunity.com/groups/deaditems
I have never used the group (even though I'm a member) so can't say how good it is.

Use https://www.steamtradematcher.com
I traded alot here, many bots and users. The trade should be made manually, you choose what you need, 1:1 trades, even when a card is more expensive than the others from the set.

Hi all, I recently ran idlemaster to get cards for my unplayed games, and have quite a few cards that are no longer bought/sold on the community market. I noticed I can post on the game's forum as available for trades, so I assume trading is the the only way to handle these cases. My problem is I'm not a card trader and have no idea what is considered "fair" trades for these or if people even want them - I normally just put stuff on the market or look at the market to see if there's demand.
I guess - what is etiquette in these cases? I sortof want to make the cards available to trade because I realize there's probably not many cards remaining if someone is trying to get them for sets - but also realize dead games may not have many collectors anymore.
How do you handle these cases? Do you just convert to gems? Is posting on the game's trading forum worth it? I'm not an active trader and don't want to do anything that's going to take to much time considering trades - so really posting to ask if there's some normally expected process in these cases. thanks for comments.
