Summer Sale Badge benefits?

Contributing 10 points to your team

A song about badges, totally related

Nope,except it worth more contribution points, if you craft the summer sale badge, rather than any other. For a normal you get 1 points ( 10 for FOIL), and you can get 10 points ( 100 for FOIL ) if you craft a Summer Adventure Badge.

The Summer Adventure FAQ explains what benefits come from participating.

One of the benefits of crafting the badge is you get a chance at crafting a valuable item along with the badge.

Looks like I stay true to my plan and just sell them over time^^ Holding on a little longer for now anyway, still got time to decide xD

You get an in game item from the games that valve has selected. And well if you are really lucky, some of those items are quite pricy and you can get lots of games that way. :D So far i crafted 3 normal badges and i'm 2 euro ahead, because i got a foil :D. I will totally craft the Summer Sale Badge at least once to try my luck.

Also if you crafted your full set of cards, you should recive 2 cards if your team win daily competetion or one if not.

crafting event badge -> bad decision
buying remaining cards to half-done sets, getting event card, selling it for profit -> getting free games -> good decision

The ladies can't resist a gamer with Summer Adventure badges.
;)

If you craft badges you go up in level and have more of a chance to get booster packs. Don't sell off your cards so you can make less than a dollar, get cards, craft badges, get more cards. The rich get richer.

I was going to craft them, but when I saw them at 50 cents and up I sold like crazy.

Bought games, bumped up another 15 levels or so from buying cheap 9 cent cards to complete their badges.

Rinse and repeat.

Looks like today value is dropped a bit, so doing it again today for now, but not sure what I will do tomorrow if they continue to drop.

I just don't understand why the prices are still that high, it hasn't the case during the previous sales. Would that only be because of their pathetic adventure game and people wanting to make their team win??

I crafted a set of Summer badges and got a "Steal 500 points" item. I sold it on the market for $18.

So..... Worth it IMO. I've bought 6 games and have $12 more in my wallet than when I started.

You get an item.

I only craft 1 normal badge of a random game I haven't got any card from when my team is going to win. That adds a chance to win the 3 top wishlist games for free, I think it works like a giveaway.
Like the others said, it's better to sell the cards to buy a cheap game for free. 10 summer sale cards = 5.00€
Try to craft a badge to get a summer sale card for games that requires between 5-9 cards. If you are lucky enough, you won't get any double and it will give you benefit if you buy the rest of the cards on the market. You can also try to follow the prices of the cheapest booster packs. I just got PAYDAY pack for 0.12 cents when it's originally for 0.24 cents.
