Best time to get/sell foils is right when the cards released for the game. If a game gets cards, and you want to maximize your profit, start playing that game immediately to get the drops and put the cards up for sale right away. People race to see who can get the badge first. The only thing about older games getting cards is that people destroy the market quickly. Example: There's only 10 of one card on the entire market and somebody charges $0.15 for theirs and it turns into an undercutting race and diminishes any significant return.

My only foil so far was a Magicka one, sold for 0.35€. Well better than nothing ^^

Had a Paranormal foil drop within the first 20 minutes of the game releasing on Steam. Put it up for sale immediately. Dude hits me up and offers to buy it. I requested two keys and he took the deal and has been trying to re-sell it since. He was really nice and Im not trying to toot my horn here, but sometimes the risk doesnt pay off I guess.
I do love the card market. Discovered the magic of card banking with various bots. Look for high pay prices on the bots and buy them low on the market then bank em for keys that I keep, or TOD tickets which can be re-sold immediately. Can basically turn 1-2 cards that the bot pays 2 ref for, for 20-30 cents total if the timing works out and you catch a lull in prices. Easy money and havent had to pay 1 penny out of pocket and have profited around 20 keys since I figured out how to maximize my return. The only issue is the time involved. Waiting for things to sell, buying the cards, waiting in queues for the bots. It pays off gloriously though.

The worst selling price I saw was around 35 / 45 € for a Zero foil (BL2). Got mine a few days later, and missed the correct timing, undercutters came by and it fell from 20 / 15€ to 5€.
Still, 5€ for nothing is already quite great.
Edit : it was during the beta, which explains better the crazy prices, also I happened upon my card right at the moment the foil drop requirement was removed.
