best games for profiting by trading cards?

[Amphion]

I want to profit by selling trading cards. I need games which are cheap, but drops expensive trading cards, I mean if a game drops 3 trading cards, I want the all cards worth more than game's price. for example, hentai girl karen is sold 1.26 TRY (my country's currency) but all the cards the game drops worth 2 TRY in total. I need games like this. Any suggestions?

I suggest you do your own research—why would somebody who does know have the incentive to tell you?

If you want to get "rich" by selling trading cards, you're doing it completely wrong.

date a live rio reincarnation, if you craft kurumi bg you'll get $$$. buy it when it's on sale for $20

Stock market would be a much better option.

I know that stuff with anime pictures tends to be in somewhat higher demand.

Also, sets whose badges can produce letters or other desirable badge designs.

Honestly games should not be doing this nonsense but that ship sailed a long time ago.

Though, Steam has belatedly tried to clamp down on this by making it so that games can't get trading cards or some other community features before making a certain amount of revenue.

I'm not trying to be rich dude, just trying to collect money for games.

you could buy cheap cards on the market and try sell them for higher price and not pay for a game because some people like stuff better when its more pricey

errrr, nope. Even making that comparison is plain out ridiculous.

For starters... I can sell my portfolio whenever I want, you can only put Steam items onto the market and hope that someone either spots them or the system auto-provides. This also means that if you are foolish enough to buy items in the hopes of selling them at a higher price later your "profit" will be negligible, in many cases prices go down over time. Basic law of economics actually: supply & demand.

And of course... buying a game which provides trading cards allows you to obtain some from playing & trading. But you profit will never get above the game purchase "just like that". Sure there's the option of making some of your money back, but at what timespan? ;)

Which is even ignoring predictability. The Corona crisis had a major impact on many stock exchanges, but it also opened up tons of opportunities. I speak from personal experience; the price of my portfolio which I set up during & after the crash has severely increased in value, we're talking hundreds of euro's. I don't see that ever happening on the community market ;)

The Community Market is not a stock market but a commodity market.

As the trading cards operate on market value (supply and demand and all that) with considerable data available to recommend prices, the chances of you making any significant money to even afford to eat is almost nil.

This is simply because the only method for you to create cards is to buy games cheaply as possible, and the problem there is that that applies to everyone else too - so such cards are nigh on worthless. Supply and demand, you see.

Likewise buying other cards cheap and expecting to wait until the market value goes up. Not going to happen. Some things do indeed go up and down, but not anything that you could even begin to profit from.

Sorry, but the issue here is it's a waste of time on your part as everybody is painfully aware of how to do the same things with cards, games et al, so you'd be in a market of loads of others - which by definition, makes your stock value worthless.

Basically your electricity bill will probably outweigh any profit you make from trading cards.

You can't even use the money to eat because it's all just Steam Wallet funds.
