Trading Cards - convert to gems or sell them?

What do you guys do with these cards I seem to randomly get?

I’ve sold like 3 to get 18 cents or so, but this seems to be really inefficient when it comes to time.

If you have no interest in making them into a collection - just sell it or gift it to friends who want it.
Probably you 'get more' out of them if you give them away. They will be more happy than you are with 18 cents :D.

I don’t have any Steam friends interested afaik.

Assuming I sell all my cards for about 6 cents each I’ll only get about 5 bucks.

5 dollars are still 5 dollars - you can buy some very cheap indie games with it :)

Yup! My next goal is Amata, I think.

I think you barely get any gems from converting them (compared to converting wallpapers or emojis for example) so selling them makes the most sense. Or donating them like someone already suggested, if you got friends who are interested in crafting the badges.

Sell the cards. I occasionally auto-sell them. Last time it was around 50€

Wait, where do I go to set up auto-sell?

Oh it's just a browser add-on. The "steam inventory helper". Still needs a bit manual labour though, but helps. One just needs to be enough of a cheapskate to that for some measly cent 😁

I tend to set my sights on a low cost indie game and funnel all that junk into buying it, I did it with stardew and Terraria, and slay the spire is on the way
