Badge Previews

[Draconikus]

Give us the option to see what the different levels of badge look like, and what goodies we get at each level (also the ability to see earlier levels of badge eg, can still view the lvl 1 badge when we have lvl 5).
I am far more likely to go to the effort of buying/trading for cards I need to craft a badge if I know the badge I'm getting looks awesome, or if I'm getting a cool looking profile background.

And don't just give us a preview of the next badge level only - if a tier 5 badge is absolutely epic, or has God-tier loot, I'll happily buy my way through 4 tiers of garbage. But if the next level is rubbish, and that's all I can see, why would I buy any further?

As badge-granted emoticons and backgrounds are random AFAICT, I don’t think you’re likely to see a preview of which you’d receive implemented.

On the web site Steam Card Exchange, you can watch all cards, badges , emotes ,etc. I believe for every game . https://www.steamcardexchange.net/index.php?showcase

You get a random choice from all of the "goodies" at each level. There are no level-specific items.

Keep https://www.steamcardexchange.net/ bookmarked. They do an excellent job of maintain a database of every card, badge level, "goodies" received. They also try to facilitate a market but you can ignore all of that.
