Steam trading cards

Cant wait to get rid of all those useless Crossbourne trading cards. I heard wbarton card is worth around 2,5 buds on TF2 market

I want that beta too! Or 2x them, one for my collection.

They could easily implement a Steam Wallet Transfer that takes a small cut if they wanted to, no need to do it through trading cards.

Maybe stupid question, but what is steam trading cards?

Gabe Newell - "for 3 white and 4 any color mana place 5 Steam sale tokens on the battlefield. Gabe gets X/X for every happy customer"

As I thought, trading cards will be probably used for steam wallet transfer. Proof

this may be a good idea!

Well done Valve, that is why is the best gaming platform

:O !

No more TF 2 Keys!

It would be easier to convert keys into gifts.

To make trading finally safe.

So I can trade in my double Magic Cards for cash?

I don't have any cards so.. I guess this isn't really anything for me but it sounds cool.

Dammit, was hoping for an actual card game.

You just activated my trap card!

Does this mean we could make steam wallet giveaways here?

Edit: oh wait, I don't know how you'd confirm if someone "activated" their winnings or not.

I hope we can send whatever quantity we want :/

Complete a set of tading cards and craft them into a game badge

Pretty sure that proves that they aren't anything close to what you assumed.

Looks like it's gonna be a Trading Card Game after all. But does anyone already know how to obtain trading cards? By doing achievements?

Edit: Oh, looks like you have to craft them?

Kinda cool :D

What the hell? o.o

So, Good Guy GabeN found new way to take our money away? And we'll be using Steam Wallet to buy cards to get badges?

My bet it's Steam Trading Cards will be launched with the Summer Sale as an event associated with it and than stay as a regular feature, kinda like an introduction to it ;)

The only thing I want is to replace my shitty unfinished Summer Sale 2012 badge with the cool one, but I guess that's not gonna happen in the foreseeable future. I would even pay Steam for that, lol.
