So trying to earn some extra money and heard about trading cards, do I even have games that have any of value?

[Awakened Gamer]

Yes I have a job im just lower on money during the summer, and I really been wanting the secret world for a while since ive tried it, im trying to get the ultimate edition at the moment, I did check into tremor games and earned some stuff on there sadly they dont even have the secret world, and the steam wallet stuff is very high on that site.

Anyways are the trading cards worth earning and selling at all?

[ReBoot]

Selling cards brings money and money buys games.
As for earning cards and stuff, www.google.com and search for Steam trading cards FAQ.

[Awakened Gamer]

I read that faq and it is vague, im mostly asking if its worth it its not like I can see how much cards I have not earned yet are worth.

Decide for yourself. Would you rather use cards to get virtual badges or some money?
Cards go for a couple of cents, around ten or so per card. It's IMHO worth it, but its your choice!

[Awakened Gamer]

12 cents at a time is probably not going to earn me 20 bucks. And I cannot use anymore cash right now so its not much of a choice.

I got 60 bucks from Steam cards, 6 or so cents at a time.

I looked through your games and assuming you drop the highest value cards for all your non f2p games, you'd make almost $2 assuming you have the max card drops for all. I didn't include f2p as card drops in such games require making a micro transaction purchase from said games.

Even if you did include them though you might push into the mid $3 range. As far as is it worth it, *shrugs* depends on the person, cards don't sell for much typically, but it sounds like you're in a situation where every bit counts.

So if I play those games I can get more cards right? Thank you by the way.

Any one game gets 1/2 of the drops available by playing. So you will only ever get a handful of cards that are available to drop. Once they've dropped, you don't get anymore unless you buy them or you are picked for a 'booster pack'

http://steamcommunity.com/tradingcards/faq/

Most games will drop a number of cards equal to about half the number of cards in that game's set of cards. For example, Half-Life 2 has 8 cards in its set, you can receive 4 card drops by playing it.

Once you have received all of your card drops, you become eligible for a booster pack, which is a set of 3 trading cards that may include both basic and foil cards. Booster packs are granted randomly to eligible users as more badges are crafted by members of the community.

It is explained in the FAQ which you claim to have read.

I was just confirming it no need to jump to judgement and assumptions online and no need to troll.
