the secret is they're worthless so sell them as quickly as possible and save a small amount of money on your next steam purchase

I have $50 on my account for the Summer sale, but I'll probably just get Sniper elite 3 instead.

idle games, get cards, sell any that are foil or legendary and people pay like a dollar for a foil and who knows what for a legendary

High-functioning otaku.
I think they came up with the trading card idea after seeing how much retards would pay for TF2/dota hats and the result was something even less substantial than virtual cosmetic items.

They're just trying to see what they can get away with at this point.

dota hats are marvelously cheap. i sell cards and buy cool dota outfits

the most expensive thing i've gotten was wizard hat for lina and it was 50 cents? and i sold a foil card just before that

most of them you get randomly from playing games that have card sets themed after them, usually they also have sets when there's a sale, and you get cards by buying games and crap.

The secret is that they'll be way cheaper during the sale when everyone has a million of them and you're a retard for buying them now, or at all.

I got a lovely dota item from all these magical question cards.


These are evil cards OP, they try and stray you down the dark path of MOBAS. Discard them all and don't look back.
