The Steam Trading Thread (Cards, Games, Items, etc.)
Nate requested a separate topic, so here we go. All discussion for trading items, cards, games, whatever can go here.
If you are not interested in this entire card business please feel free to give your cards to me :fuzcool:. I will take very good care of them and they will have a good home. Game on! |
I got a card playing FTL earlier. I didn't expect it to just pop up in my inventory mid-game like that.

Card drops are given simply for playing the game a set amount of time.

I found a booster pack once.
Three Gordan Freemans. Brilliant. |

I like the idea of the cards. It makes you want to play the game showing which games your dedicated too. - That said. You can just buy each card in a set for like 10p on the Steam market which defeats the whole point. It also increases your Steam 'Cock Size' in a manner of speaking.
Anyway. I asked OWI if the Oddworld games were planning on getting the cards. :

Have fun. Just don't get suckered in.
Ultimately, if STCs are a game, buying them is cheating. It's a test of luck, patience, and haggling. Deliberately circumventing that achieves less than anyone playing properly, regardless of how little you may consider them to be achieving in the first place. |
That's kind of like what I was trying to say the other day, but a lot more succinct.
I've decided I don't mind the trading cards. There are a few sets I want to complete because I like the art, or the game. |

The regular trading cards are fun to collect. The rare and limited trading cards, such as Summer Cards being given out a limited time, are a true money maker. Once the event ends, so does the supply of cards. What happens when supply runs dry? Prices sky rocket. Have a look at the market and you see that happening at this very moment. Prices for regular summer cards have at least doubled and foil cards have tripled. And they are still going up. My stash of Summer Cards that I held on to for this very purpose is worth about twice what I invested in them. In a few weeks I'll see how much profit I can squeeze out of them.

I'm sitting on the ones MM gave me for at least a year, just to see what happens.
|
I'd love to get the full Hotline Miami card set. I'm missing the Owl, the Pig and the Bum so if you guys have those I could uhh, trade them for FTL cards I guess.

I don't think you're in the Steam Group, so I don't know who you are.
|
We have a Steam group?!!!
Nah, I kid. I kid. |
|
If anyone wants my cards (I'm in the group as Jaooooo~) just PM me and tell me how it can be done.
