I have a spare The Herald of the Walking Apocalypse card (Saints Row The Third), looking for Johnny Gat, Nyte Blayde, Oleg Kirrlov the Brute, or Pierce Washington
I just gave all my stuff to Digi not that long ago. I usually let him do the profit making or whatever it is you do with these kinds of things, then if something peaks my interest such as a TF2 item or whatnot he'll give it to me then.
The fact that all of the cards for the majority of the games can't be unlocked simply by playing is quite frustrating to me.
All of the free drops seem to come instantaneously within just a few hours. Then I 'm just staring at all the missing one's and my lack of badge.
I feel like drops should be achievement based or linked to playtime rather than just for spending money on in-game transactions.
I could understand micro-transactions to unlock/buff Foil card drops. But normal cards? It just doesn't seem worth the money.
I guess I could work the system. Play games I don't like to earn cards. Then trade those cards to get the missing ones for the games I do like. But that seems like a lot of work and that's assumes I'll get at least 1:1 value.

Was going through my comment history/drafts and remembered I wanted to post in here.
I completed my TF2 badge and thus all the cards i get for it now I don't need. Ask away if you want any.
"We've made this change to make trading gifts a better experience for those receiving the gifts. We're hoping this lowers the number of people who trade for a game only to have the game revoked later due to issues with the purchaser's payment method."
Their changes does not prevent this, it simply hampers some specific methods. Yes no charge backs happen after 7 days.

Steam just changed card drops due to their new refund policy. They don't know what they are doing.
"It appears that the algorithm used by Steam to determine the rate at which cards drop was changed yesterday by Valve. After hearing numerous reports and doing testing of my own, it appears they have made this change to attempt to prevent people from purchasing a game, idling it for cards, selling the cards then refunding the game. As a result, most games will not start dropping Steam Trading Cards until approximately 2 hours of playtime has been recorded on your account.
As a reminder: if Idle Master is running and Steam shows you are "in-game" (and that game has available card drops) then you will eventually get those card drops. There is no difference between using Idle Master to idle the game, or downloading a game and sitting in it's main menu to idle for this purpose.
While I understand that this was a necessary change for Valve to make to help prevent fraud, I also know that it immensely affects those of us with a large number of games to idle. For me personally, this means that my idling time has increased approximately 650 hours (almost 28 days) as a result of this change.
Additionally, I encourage everyone who purchases games on Steam to test them out with your PC and be sure that you will not want to have that game refunded before using Idle Master to idle it's cards. The program includes a blacklist feature that can be employed to prevent the program from idling these games if you're not sure.
This change could be temporary. Valve could be trying to affect the supply of trading cards in the market, or it could be the result of the ongoing sale. If the situation changes further I'll try to keep everyone updated."

If you want any of these, you need to add me on Steam and bug me sometime that I'm actually at a computer where I'm logged in.

Please let me know who you are if you add me... I usually reject requests that are from people I don't think I know.
Johnny Gat, Nyte Blayde, Oleg Kirrlov the Brute, or Pierce Washington

@Karma @CrazyJoe Sorry I can not trade right now. Apparently since I recently logged in on a fresh install of Chrome, I am unable to trade for 7 days.
This is going to severely hinder my internet points during this event.
Man that is such BS
Have had that exact problem before, I feel for you.
These new trading rules thingies make trading way too tedious. I mean I get the reason why they do it but it sucks.
For the Summer Sale I have:

Ahh, 7 days is only on the browser. Was able to send trades via Steam browser... on the same computer. Heh.
But then again, @Karma 's inventory may be set to private and I can't send him a trade anyways
The email verification on every step of the trade is a bit of a pain.
I found the setting where you can turn that off. Then I thought about turning it off. Then I didn't turn it off.
If you want to turn it off, from your inventory go to the More pull down to Inventory Privacy Settings
I was getting an absurd number of friend requests and people randomly trading me in game so I set it to private so now I only get 1 random request a day instead of 7.
