Truth!
Cards = sell or craft badges. Worthless penny items from crafting = gems.

Wouldn't know, I'm not really familiar with reddit, 9gag nor 4chan. And I haven't seen any of those discussions you mention. ;) Anyway... I don't mind posting +1 if I agree with a post and don't have anything else to add.

Simple answer: You make much (!!!) more profit on selling them.

emotes and backgrounds are for gems. cards are for money

I voted gems, I understand why I am in the minority as the person above stated its more profitable to sell. Its easy to turn them into gems. Gems have trade value and market value. Neither for my time is of interest but if I was choosing I choose gems for the convenience.

everything you stated is true. It still consumes more time to post the cards at prices depending what you want out of them (matching highest offer for instant sale) I would rather save the time and pay for the gems than manufacture them or sell cards. I like the speed aspect of gems insta eliminate this from my inventory.

Gems are much easier to sell but you get less profit. Selling cards takes a lot of time but you can potentially get more profit. Whichever suits you better.

Best to sell your cards and turn other things into gems (unless they have some value on the market).

Useless stuff have even less value when converting to gems!

god, that colour combination melted my eyes Q_Q
but yeah I agree, selling is better

sell them for wallet, or maybe you want use them for some raffle

yeah, I'll probably just keep giving them away. They aren't worth enough to care about, and leveling got boring and useless.

You get close to nothing for turning cards into gems. You're going to need a shit ton of cards just to make a single bag...

It's all about mo' money, mo' money, mo' money! Sell! Gems aren't worth messing around with. If anything I just leave the money in my Steam wallet until I have enough to buy a game to give away here. Which reminds me, I need to get to farming. $1.24 doesn't buy much of a game and it seems that the love for Fortix has all but disappeared since it was bundled.

Copying my comment from under a similar topic:
Cards converted into gems are worth a lot less than if sold as cards (at least the ones I tried).
An example:
The "Have you met the witch of the woods?" card of Grim Legends: The Forsaken Bride is worth £0.11 at the moment and is convertable to 5 Gems, resulting in £0.022 / Gem. As far as I know one can only sell Gems in bundles of 1000 (called Sack of Gems), for which the price is £0.43 at the moment, resulting in £0.00043 / Gem . So that specific card drops to about 1/50th of is value if converted into Gems. I don't know if it's the same for all other stuff too, but I remember back at the Christmas Sale when I tried to convert Christmas cards into Gems it resulted in the same horrible value drop.

Gems were only worth it when buying 100 Gem emotes for £0.03 before the Gem auction. Typically the price of gems skyrockets so you end up with a nice profit of around £0.30 per 1000 gem bundle.
In short, no. They are not worth it unless you took advantage of them when they were first implemented.

Just sell the cards. It may only gain you pennies at a time, but it all adds up. I'm at about $16 right now in my Steam Wallet.

other way works sometimes. buy gems, make a boosterpack with them and sell cards

I just noticed that gems are still an option. Yeah, I'm slow. I haven't seen any topics covering this, so I figured I'd start one. Is it better to sell your cards, or turn them into gems? Why?
