Steam gifts but with steam trading cards?

Problem with card giveaways is with "redeeming". Gifts are easy - either you have game in library or not. With cards it's much harder. Maybe if it were whole "badges giveaways", but it feels like way too much work for really little effect.

I think this is a very interesting idea but I feel like a lot of people would sell the cards.

Edit: Also exactly what psyko said.

Trade your cards for games to give away if you want CV :)

Cards cost $0.03 for some right? So it's about $0.06 for 1 CV. So roughly $0.96 worth of cards = $16 worth of CV. I can just see people CV farming. :/

Unless that's not what you're trying to say. lol

There is a system setup for trading cards. You donate cards and each card has a different value depending on the popularity of the card. You then get credits to use for getting other cards. http://www.steamcardexchange.net/

Closes thing is http://www.steamtradematcher.com/

you can find people who has doubles of cards you need and they do giveaways!!
