Summer Sale crafting badges

After what happened last summer, I don't think we're going to see a color wars-like competition again.

I've currently got 29 badges waiting to be crafted. I'm waiting mainly because sometimes they give you rare items for other games like TF2 or CS:GO or DOTA that could be sold.

Usually the market for cards is pretty swift. You put a card on the market and you sell it almost instantly. You should also get 1 card for 3 community choice votes which happen every 6 hours I believe.

You will go broke.

yes yes no yes

1.Last summer sale there was crafting contest, so for last year it was worth to wait...not sure about this one

2. For every winter/summer sale there is voting for sale cards
3. Yes
4. It depends

I am trading my mysterious cards have quite a lot now.

There is a 1:1 trading group on Steam. It's a great and helpful community. I believe it is set to invite for a while now, but I want to complete some sets as well, so Imma add you, maybe we can help each other out.

already crafted most of my badges and sold a load of mysterious cards - since i'm expecting them to sell for 0.16€ a pop ... while i sold mine for roughly ~ 0.24€ per card > regardless of the event, i won't care nor do i expect it to be advantageous to wait for some random unpredictable event (other than profit for vulvo)

I've already crafted a lot of badges , reached lvl 20 , which is good for receiving boosters (+40% chance), got a lot of myst. cards so Steam doesn't allow me to sell more, I have to wait 5-7 days from each craft to sell them on Steam market xD

If you're crafting badges go ahead and craft whenever you want.
If you're buying cards to craft them, wait till nearer the end of the sale.
If you're selling cards, sell them at the beginning of the sale.

It is best to craft badges during major seasonal sales, if you were already planning on crafting them, because a sale card has more value than a random coupon.

• Yes
• Maybe, Valve keep changing things up every sale so no one know for sure
• Yes
• Most definitely

I just crafted 255 sets of cards.
Had to use a steam extension to put the 750 odd items I got from crafting on the market. Got 5 foils if anyone is interested.
Got from level 41 to 79 for about $15.

No point waiting to craft regular cards. There is always a chance that there might be a mini game about them though. But if you wait too long price for mysterious cards will drop.

And yes to your last 3 questions.
