"Thank you for all the feedback during this beta. We've been spending a lot of time helping game developers get their Trading Cards built and released, and will continue
to release new sets of cards twice a week for the foreseeable future. Participating is up to the developers, so if there’s a game you’d like to see trading cards for, you
should let them know.

We've also had time to work on some new features for the beta that we hope to release in the next week or so, based on feedback we've received:

Trade Offers: send an offer to another user of items to trade, even if they're offline, that will let them accept, decline, or make a counter-offer. You'll only be able to send trade offers to friends to start with, but if people like it we'll look into expanding it. This will also let you send an item as a gift to a friend.

Booster Packs: these will drop randomly for users who have received all their card drops from playing any given game, and who are continuing to participate in the community. Each booster pack will contain three cards for that game, and may potentially contain foils. The rate of drops will be based on how often cards are being used, to prevent too many flooding into the economy.

Game Collector Badge: A badge that grants XP based on how many games you own on Steam, to ensure that long-time users are rewarded.

Trading Card Binder: A way of showing off all the cards you've collected, including those you've crafted into a badge."

Well, valve would have to confirm the bank account is legit and that there is a real person behind it. I'm just thinking of the similar system paypal employs with their cashing out paypal funds. You'd have to tie a bnak account to your steam account, etc.

It can be done. It's up to Valve to do it, if they want. But yeah, they probably won't do it.

So, do you need to be in the beta to get/use the cards?
If so how do you get in the beta?

I'm a bit confused here, "...The rate of drops will be based on how often cards are being used...", does that mean it will depend on the number of cards you use to craft badges or global card usage?

It would be global usage, to ensure that they're being reintroduced at an appropriate rate for their consumption.
