Mysterious Badge?

This, but I'll craft a badge and see what happens.
One sec.

true story!i 2nd dat.

Are you new on Steam or something? =D

yep crafting right now reveals a card instead of a coupon. one of the mysterious cards.

There's no way my wallet can be prepared for this. It's already whimpering.

it's just fun

What were the point of baseball cards and football cards? Same deal except virtual

E-peen

That number usually means "how much Valve fu-loved me".

Usually, not always, as some people craft badges cheaper than those summer cards, so in their case it's number "how much I fu-loved other people using Valve's dildo".

Every 10 levels increases your drop rate for booster packs. I think every 5th level or so increases the size of your friends list. Not that the friends list size actually needs expanding for most people.

You get to show off stuff on your profile, I think you can add a showcase every 10 levels.

My too :)

I think nearly everyone on steam had the same thought.

so, you will craft for example 5 cards wroth 0.5 dollars, to get 0.15 dollars card, WOW

I bought the Witcher 3 by selling CSGO items and cards. I suggest you do the same ;)

How did you get all those o.o

:D

I crafted 46 and only completed 2 sets.

Like the other cards, none.

Go, go... Power Rangers!

I just bought 7 with $2 :)

+1

craft now and add screens! :)

Unless they add 'craft X numbers of badges' perks (which I highly doubt) this is all you'll be getting extra. So doing it now, during or even after the sale.. it shouldn't really matter.

Depending why you want those cards.

To sell - wait until sale starts and hopefully make cards price rise.
To craft - doesn't matter.

But what about frost?

Not this week. Deadline for developers to send prices is at end of this week and there are still coupons up to 17th.

My guess of 19th thursday still stands.

Had to craft 28 badges to get full set :D (was just too lazy to sell cards)

You need to wait for Summer Sale. Then Summer 2014 badge will appear. Probably giving you also some F2P item.

Nobody knows for sure, but considering the earlier sales & seeing how cheap they're right now, I'd say yes.

Event cards are weird. Last summer sale's cards were more valuable when they weren't revealed. Their price dropped drastically after a few days, they never went up after being revealed. Only time they went up was on the last day, but only the foils.

During the winter sale, I thought it would be a good idea to sell the cards before they were revealed. This time it was the opposite, the cards' value went way up after being revealed. I think it was mostly due to the item drops for different games when crafting a holiday badge, that kept the card value up during the whole sale.

So it's really hit or miss.

Hell no, as you can see in this thread nearly everyone seems to think they're the only ones who're smart enough to wait since they remember last winter sale when the cards went back up in price for a short duration once they got unveiled.
What everyone seems to be forgetting is that back then it was the first time cards would expire, hence the increase in price + the fact that noone knew what to expect, this time around nearly everyone who's interested in crafting saved up tons of full sets so it seems more then likely the price won't go up like last time.
