FAQJoin the BetaShow offRewardsSteam Trading Cards
Introducing
Steam Trading Cards are virtual cards earned by playing games on Steam. Sets of cards can be turned into game badges and tradable Steam community items.
Collect cards
Play any of the participating Trading Cards Beta games to get trading cards. Up to half the card set is dropped through game play, the other half is earned through your collecting prowess.
Craft game badges
Once you’ve collected a set of cards you can craft them into a game badge. Like the current badges, they are tied to your account and are shown on your profile. Unlike the current badges, crafting games badges earns you marketable items like emoticons, profile backgrounds, and coupons. Level up your badge by collecting the set again and earning more items.
Level Up
All badges now have XP which contributes to your Steam Level, a summary of your badge collection. You can view someone’s Steam Level by hovering over their avatar. Leveling up earns you non-tradable items like profile showcases, extra friends list slots, and more.

I hope these are hustleable on the Steam black market.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Reading the page the idea seems interesting.
But personally not something is bother with.
Especially since it seems like it would be a bit of work, which others I'm sure would enjoy though.

 

[Killthee]

Which games drop trading cards?
The following games are currently part of the Steam Trading Cards Beta.

• CS:GO
• Team Fortress 2
• Dota 2
• Portal 2
• Half-Life 2
• Don't Starve

We'll be adding more as we get them done.

My body is ready.

 

[Visualante2]

Reminds me of MySpace

 

[HoosTrax]

I hope these are hustleable on the Steam black market.

I like the way you think...

I think I paid for my last half a year of Steam purchases by hustling TF2 hats on the market.

 

[Sendou]

Here's FAQ with information.

 

[DMczaf]

How long until we get Steam Pogs?

 

[Tomat]

When are they going to make hats you can put on your steam profile?

 

[Kade]

Same. It's been a while since I used real money to buy stuff on Steam.

 

[jabuseika]

Steam has added Leveling.

Welp, there goes life.

 

[Deputy Dangle]

I am very ready for this.

 

[Drkirby]

I guess Dota cards will be the most common, while things like Half-Life 2 will be the most uncommon.

 

[Klendathu Club Owner]

I don't want Steam Trading Cards! I want Steam Pogs! How cool would that be?

 

[mugoldeneagle03]

As an old school card collector this kind of stuff always interests me for some reason, and from what I read they're not actually selling cards by themselves - something that completely dilutes market values like in Ultimate Team over time.

Will try. Need something along the lines to maybe get that good feeling I used to get during the Star Wars/Pokemon CCG days

 

[LiK]

Cool, I guess

 

[X05]

Well, seems like achievements give XP for your "Steam Level"

 

[HoosTrax]

Well, seems like achievements give XP for your "Steam Level"

We finally get some sort of gamerscore-like metric I guess. I just hope that's retroactive for all the achievements I've already done.

 

[Orayn]

Do they? This makes it sound like only badges contribute to Steam Level.

 

[Uiki]

So..I just need to join the Group and wait for gabe?

 

[shandy706]

I don't play any of those anymore. No cards for me. :'(

 

[Dr.Palutena]

Call me when they're in civ 5 . (Oh god don't let this happen I need a social life)

 

[X05]

Do they? This makes it sound like only badges contribute to Steam Level.

It seemed like it from this image:

 

[SovanJedi]

Hmm.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Oh, I just got an invite in my e-mail. lol

 

[BrokenEchelon]

How long before certain items are only attainable via cards, and then they start selling booster packs for $1.00 or whatever?

 

[SupaNaab]

Just got the invites, comes with 3 invites for friends too. Took like 10 minutes since signing up.

 

[Orayn]

It seemed like it from this image:

I think that "100XP" is for the badge, and just the badge.

 

[Bomber Bob]

is that pokemon TGM?

 

[X05]

I think that "100XP" is for the badge, and just the badge.

I really hope that you are right

 

[RazorbackDB]

where is the begging for invite thread?

Spoiler

lol

 

[KingKong]

Haha you can sell the invites on the market. Already saw someone listing it for $40, good luck with that

 

[CosmicQueso]

Valve is nothing short of pure genius in their ability to create markets. Hot damn this gives me a big ol bidness chub.

 

[KingKong]

Boo, to upgrade Pillar of Community you need 24/26 tasks but there are 3 tasks that you can only do with new card drops. Tricky!

 

[dark_inferno]

"If your Steam Level increases, you'll get the limit on the size of your friends list increased by five, and potentially unlock the ability to customize your profile with showcases."

What was the max number for friends in steam?

Yes, trading cards can be traded to other users and bought or sold on the Community Market.

Signed. Earning money while playing?

250 without Facebook link
300 with Facebook link

 

[Ikuu]

Just got in, http://steamcommunity.com/id/Ikuu time to show off all my hats.

 

[n8]

I find it humorous how you can expand your friendlist by playing games.
I can see the connection, but it's just..odd.

 

[Uiki]

Just got in..... I'm looking at the cards, but there's no explanation on how to unlock them

 

[Danthrax]

I guess this may convince me to finally install the copy of Half-Life 2 I've had on my Steam account for years.

 

[Kade]

Just got in..... I'm looking at the cards, but there's no explanation on how to unlock them

I think they work the same way as Team Fortress 2 item drops. You play a supported game and it randomly puts a card in your inventory.

 

[MedIC86]

If anyone has a spare invite

 

[Uiki]

Oh, I see.

Time to fire cs go then.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

I'm in. Only level 8 and a half though, so I won't get anything cool until I complete some more stuff :/

 

[Killthee]

Half the set drops randomly while playing. The other half can be obtained by trading with friends.

How can I get trading cards?
Each participating game drops up to half the set of cards into your Steam inventory during gameplay. The other half of the card set can be collected from other community members. Try the beta group discussions, community market, barter with friends, and trade discussions.

 

[MNC]

Aaaaaaaand I'm in. I'm doing it just for the profile.

 

[JustinBB7]

How do you get in? Just join the group?

Edit: Ok just join the group and you might get in.

 

[poros1ty]

You can buy/sell beta test invites in the marketplace.

 

[Dmented]

Anyone happen to have a spare invite I could get? I love this type of shit.

 

[FearMyWrench]

Hmm, I joined the group but nothing so far.
