    • nxllson on 23/12/2016 - 10:09

      Thanks, updated.

  • HomeAlone on 23/12/2016 - 10:10

    What was the previous price?

    • nxllson on 23/12/2016 - 10:15

      And this again.. It depends on what trading card you get, whatever you get is what the previous price value was.

      • HomeAlone on 23/12/2016 - 10:41

        So the previous price is the current price?

        I think I understand now.

    wow, thanks for the script, really easy. And I've just made 20 cents.

  • Jamiea on 23/12/2016 - 10:23

    Can someone explain to me why people buy these shitty "trading cards"? I mean it's free money for me so I'm not complaining but I couldn't think of a worse way to waste money.

    • nxllson on 23/12/2016 - 10:25

      You can craft badges with it which give experience points to your Steam account, therefore progressing your steam level.

      • Jamiea on 23/12/2016 - 10:28

        Which does literally nothing though right?

          No idea, it just makes you look 'cool'.

          Basically cosmetic. To actually get some tangible value (ie. DLC, games) the hourly rate of buying and selling efforts offset the benefits.

          If anything its actually promoted the development of terrible 99c games that provide easy cards. Now the Steam store is flooded with shovelware that people buy to resell/trade cards.

        • Neverpayretail on 24/12/2016 - 08:16

          @thisplus: Actually its not just cosmetic increasing your level gives you an increased chance of booster packs, which in creases your level and by virtue of more cards overall to sell gives you cheaper games. I have seen a few dollars savings just by virtue of the extra cards. Plus it also gives you a larger friend list, more discount coupons, etc.

        • Probspot on 28/12/2016 - 08:09

          Ah yes, fair enough - there are some tangible benefits to improving your profile through levels.

    • highdealer on 23/12/2016 - 16:06

  • blamesociety on 23/12/2016 - 11:52

    Also a card for each badge crafted during the sale.

    I used to collect NBA cards. What do I do with them now.

    this must be an incredibly stupid question. But How do you actually get these? I game quite regularly but have no idae what trading cards are..

    • philmarcracken on 23/12/2016 - 12:24

      Steam has a pretty comprehensive faq on the matter:

      Check out Idle Master
      http://www.steamidlemaster.com/

      Goes through your Steam library and collects all the cards without having to play the games. If you have a large library it does take a long long time (took about 4-5 days initially with my library of around 400 games at that time). Turn around and sell them for free Steam Credit. I got about $30-40 when I first used it.

      • bidam1 on 23/12/2016 - 22:12

        Unfortunately I have a mac so won't be able to use the program.

        • scrimshaw on 25/12/2016 - 13:49

          Macs can run Windows.

  • Captain Obvious on 23/12/2016 - 14:01

    I'm a bit confused as to how I get cards for "exploring games on sale". You mean looking at games that are on sale? Buying them? Playing them?

    • nxllson on 23/12/2016 - 14:02

      You just look at a few games randomly picked by steam, you have the option to add it to your wishlist, follow it or select 'not interested'. Or you can just hit 'next in queue' and you're a step closer to a trading card.

    script amazing, well done OP. great post.

    so people actually buy these things? crazy

    i still need to find my NBA card collection, some of the michael jordan inserts are worth $50 or so still!

  • Wampus on 23/12/2016 - 17:17

    FFS I just bought eight games.

  • rangitamoe on 23/12/2016 - 21:16

    Cheers for the script.
    Managed to snag a foil with one of the free cards and flipped it for about $0.44

    • G Wok on 30/12/2016 - 17:39

      Is this still working for you?

      It says I've unlocked 12 trading cards but only 10 show up, is there a cap?

      • MiniMoo on 02/01/2017 - 06:57

        @G Wok: Did you find them? You may have 2 foils. They will be under a new group of badges: "The Steam Awards Foil". Worth much more than standard cards.

        • G Wok on 03/01/2017 - 09:49

          Hmm this is really odd it says I've unlocked 14 cards now and only 10 items in inventory still. Can't find foils anywhere, there's 1 age of empires foil in the 10 worth 26cents.

          Maybe there is a cap to how many cards you can actually get because the 'you have unlocked 14 cards' link takes me to my inventory of 10 items.

        • MiniMoo on 03/01/2017 - 18:25

          @G Wok: You probably have duplicates. Look next to the card description and you'll see the quantity you have of that card in brackets, e.g. (2).

          Oh, if you're going to sell, sell NOW. These cards will be unsaleable after 4am Pacific Time / 11pm AEDT tonight.

        • G Wok on 03/01/2017 - 19:02

          @MiniMoo:

          thanks for heads up!

        • MiniMoo on 04/01/2017 - 12:44

          @G Wok: Hmm… Could be I mis-read the expiry on the cards, or Steam has added a month to them. Now they expire 2/3/17… or is that 3/2/17? (Damn American date format.)

      Try greasemonkey

      • Zachary on 24/12/2016 - 00:21

        Yep that worked; thanks!

        EDIT: Oh it looks like the script is only marginally faster than manually clicking NEXT button ourselves… I was expecting when clicking on view Discovery Queue it would instantly go straight to the end of the queue(instead of simulating me clicking next every time time for 11 times…) and net me a free card as a reward…..

  • Bearinator on 02/01/2017 - 16:47

    Is there a specific level you have to be before you can receive the cards? Because I'm level 1 and went through the queue 2 times and it didn't give me any of the cards.

    • nxllson on 02/01/2017 - 18:23

      I don't think there is a specific level as it does not state so in the terms and conditions, that's weird.

      • Zachary on 02/01/2017 - 19:46

        Must be level 8 or higher to receive these drops…..oh and it's kinda over now….so if yo udid it today to go through the queue well you're too late son!!
