Just curious but why would you say they wont rise above the sale value of the game?

Presumably because then it will be profitable for farmers to buy new copies of the game on new accounts and farm new cards. This extra supply will keep reducing the price until the profits from the above activity drop low enough that they aren't worth the effort.

Value will drop significantly before it will rise. Don't forget that not every Steam user is participating right now. You will have to wait at least a few months for it to stabilise or rise.

Ive sold enough cards to buy CSGO and still have a set of CSGO cards .. my biggest prob right now is .. part of me says.. SELL THEM .. the other part is saying .. CRAFT and you COULD get a VALUABLE Emoticon or Wallpaper (have your cake and eat it to)..

as soon as the beta started i managed to get two games for 1 card each but since them the value of them got really low (i think they worth around 1 dolar each now).
since youre already at level 10 and you can get foil cards (the ones that really worth something) you should sell them now

"As regards your options, backgrounds and emoticons are way cheaper than cards, so that."
This is true. What ruined me is I did craft once, my dont starve cards. And I received a RARE Emoticon, the one with Scarred guy .. star of the game. And at the time it was going for $10 ..

This is so simple .. Yet it may be the best option - I like it

Are you referring to DOTA? I didnt hear if you spend money you can get more drops...

That and TF2, it's in the FAQ:
What about free to play games like Team Fortress 2 or Dota 2?
Free to play games drop game cards based on your in-game purchasing history. If you've made purchases in-game prior to the Steam Trading Card Beta, or if you purchased TF2 prior to the Free to Play Update, you'll have 4 or 5 drops available for these games. You'll receive more card drops when you buy items in game, approximately one card drop for every $9 USD spent.
But I still have no idea how should we get cards for games without an in-game store.

ah ok yea I did hear about that.
I didnt bother installed dota cause I never actually bought anything in it before so figured no drops.
They said in the faq there may be additional ways in the future...

You dont. As of now, only way to get new cards once drops are out is to trade with people or buy from marketplace

How can value for cards rise if more people are getting invites to beta? And what do you think happens then beta ends and every 5 million active users (or whatever number is right now) will be able to get card? The only way for cards to have a higher value is to wait a year or two when most of the cards will be crafted into badges, of course if Steam won't implement card drop rate reset or another way of getting cards. Sell them while it's worth it.

You can look at your profile to see what level you are. Its determined by the badges you have... thats what the cards to.. collect a set and trade it in for a badge.

Its most likely they have badges from before .. Years of service, Summer, Xmas Sales, those badges are all worth XP. I was level 7 BEFORE I cashed in one set of cards. Since then (and finished the pillars of community badge), Im level 10

Just trying to air out some thoughts...
So at this point everyone is familiar with the new Steam Trading Card Beta. I have personally been successful so far.
::
Ok here goes. I managed to save up a full set (5 cards) for CSGO.
These are my options:
So of these, what do you think would be the best option, or if you have another suggestion, by all means, share.
Thanks!
tl;dr go away
EDIT: Thanks to everyone for your responses. You have convinced me to SELL!!
EDIT2: SOLD All my cards - Total Wallet: $6.16 .. lol I wasn't far off what I said above.
