No... Sell it.

They look pretty.

Can i have it? its just a emoticon

You could sell it for a few cents, I guess?

Nope, its the most useless and ugliest thing they could have made. (same goes for the super ugly badge :/ )

Yeah, there are not enough space in Steam inventory. WTF Gaben think?

I went full retard.

I was looking for an unpack button, but I just saw the emoticon in the chat. Didn't notice it's the emoticon for 'trading card', and not some random one generated after unpacking.

I sold both for $0.10.

I have it too. I thought I won something useful.

There are so many uses for it, especially when combined with the foil version.

It's like asking if there's any use for any of the emotes/cards/TF2 hats/TF2 crates/ ...

Valve just likes to shower us in useless things, but the fact that some people collect those things adds value to them (in the case of this emote is "only" 1 cent, but still).

Btw: same goes for real world stuff, like old currencies or stamped post card stamps, ...

I kinda like them just as a prize, i can't even use them but well.

Yeah I was clicking on it expecting something else, like the ability to frame something in the middle of them... they're beyond useless. I use the spy icon all the time, but there's no reason I'd ever use a trading card icon.

wait in 8 year its will worth 100$

Would be so much better if the emoticon had a miniature of your avatar in it, oh well.

The day they came out of beta I sold the blue one for 5 cents and the foil one for 61 cents :P

My reward for the beta: 66 cents, a badge and 100xp.

I'm going to hang on to it, likely in a month or so they'll be worth a bit more when there aren't as many to sell.

.. its discontinued..
Just wait 5 years..

I considered the real reward the 100XP.

you can read, can you? it's an emoticon. Write :tradingcard: in chat. Or click on the smiling face on the chat interface.
