Nah, thats like just a 540ish percent increase in drop rate over base. Would be like a pack every 2-7 days or so.
...on 400+ games. I mean, I get about a pack every two weeks with level somewhere in the 20s on about 30-40 games.

Why do people give a shit about these card and badge things?
Do they do anything special?
I just sell them or give them away all the time

Because they're intentionally designed to make people emotionally invested in a store and lock you in to the Steam system. You're less likely to switch to another store or use another one if someone feels they're "leaving behind" hundreds of dollars of .jpgs.
Dear god. There's unique artwork for a level 1,000 badge. Meaning they actually anticipated someone making one...

Or you can transmute the cards into cash back on games that have them, and quite a bit in some cases. Record of the Agarest War was on sale for ~$7, and the full set of its cards was going for nearly $5 not too long ago.
One of my friends has made $50 since June and even derived a little entertainment value from the selling itself.
Damn.
Wish I had a bundle of cards now considering the amount of smaller titles I want to pick up.
I'm tempted to just put up my remaining globe card for an extortionate amount in the hope someone buys it
Used card sales are ruining the card industry.
Yep.If he can spend that kind of money and he enjoys it, good for him. In a way guys like him are subsidizing games for the rest of us, as they buy our cards and we buy games with that money.
So this guy has 2000 games and 39% achievement completion rate? How is that possible?

(keep refreshing)
Foil badge (up to level 100) costs approximately $15.90 each
Foil level 100 = ($15.90 x 100) $1,590.
Regular badge (up to level 1000) costs approximately $1.57 each.
Regular level 1000 = ($1.57 x 1000) $1,570
Edit: HE DID IT. LEVEL 1000.
I'm all for top-heavy taxation, but that's just silly. A really rich person spends a lot more on their hobbies.This is the best argument I've seen recently for higher taxes on the rich.

This isn't the stock market, it's a hobby. People spend inexplicable amounts on their hobbies all the time, only for the return of whatever enjoyment they get out of it. How silly to expect someone to make a monetary return from their hobby else not participate in it. People with more money spend more money on their hobbies, and often things that simply seem foolish to us because we have to value the dollar more; as long as he's not barely scraping by and putting it on a credit card due to a spending addiction then good for him. Odds are he is spending a smaller percentage of his income on this than most here spend on their choice of hobby/entertainment. Everything is relative.

Did someone get the badge changes/icons as he leveled up? I'm curious to see the progression. IIRC Level 200 started to smother the dude in the snowglobe. So it's interesting the snow left at 1000.
I got a rare, it's worth 3 cents.Wonder if the crafts are worth anything.
There's collectors, and also people with OCD. I've dealt with the latter before in the context of virtual collectibles... they really do feel like they need everything, and it ruins them financially.I remember when Valve announced the cards and its market, how a lot of people said stuff like "this is useless! Collect electronic cards? Puff" "Can you even make money with this?".
I wonder how much has Valve earned just in this sales with the taxes of the cards. Probably at least 500k.
I sell all my cards immediately for one cent less than market value.
