Sale's over now, so no new cards... I'm still looking for a Tomb Raider in exchange for either Torchlight 2 or Prison Architect. (thanks everyone who traded with me)

At this point you might need to Sell your extras, then buy the card you need. I managed to do that to get 2 of my cards.

Since it just ended there's a good chance people have extras, or are so far away from the next badge they'll trade for other cards maybe.

Maybe turn this into an ALL steam trading card thread?

Actually I've been considering an all game thread, since this one is pages full of Summer.

I can't use the market until August 11th, but can I still trade cards with people I add to my friends list?

I detest collectibles and achievements and all manner of meta-nonsense.

So, PM me if there's something in here someone wants...

Thanks in advance.

I had some seriously rotten luck. I got most of mine from voting, but then decided to go nuts with the encore sale and buy a few things and got an assload of cards, all dupes.

Seems that way.

I have to wait until the 16th... I think it's stupid that I have to wait, considering I've been buying the majority of my games from them since 2005, but oh well.

Trade 1:1

I can not sell cards until August 3rd (I am new on Steam), but according to posts above trade should be possible even now.

I also have to get another 10 Steam Summer Cards (for my votes for Community's Choice) when I get to Steam Level 5 (I am Steam Level 2 now).

I think they were only handing out community choice cards if you reached level 5 while the sale was active, not sure that you'll get anymore when you eventually hit level 5.

This is the message that appeared after my votes:
Thanks for voting!

You've voted 32 times.

Once you reach Steam Level 5, you'll get a card every 3rd time you vote for the Community's Choice Flash Sale and you'll be granted the cards for your previous votes.

For more details on the Summer Getaway Trading Cards, read the Summer Getaway FAQ.

I searched in Steam forums and it looks that you might be right after all. I will not get any cards for my votes. But then the message that appeared after each vote should have been more clear on this point.

Relevant quote from a Valve staff member (johnc):
If you didn't make Level 5 before the last vote, you're not eligible for getting Summer Getaway cards. As some users have discovered, doing a purchase post-sale and having Level 5 will backfill cards for voting; but that is not guaranteed and will go away very soon.

Started a thread for non-Summer sale cards, if someone wants to bump it.

A few days ago I reached Steam Level 5 (by making badges from sets of cards) and did not get the Steam Summer Getaway Sale cards for my votes.

But today I purchased Sleeping dogs (together with Year of the snake DLC) and I received 10 new Summer cards.
