As suggested in the Steam Summer Sale thread, I figured I’d make this thread for anyone who wants to trade Steam cards. I’d like to get some sets, but I’m not such a complete-ist that I want to befriend a bunch of non-Dopers on Steam. So if anyone wants to trade with me, I’m CapnPitt on Steam too. So to kick things off, I’m one away from the 100 xp badge for the summer sale. I need the Bioshock Infinite card. I’ve got extras of Football Manager, Prison Architect, Reus, and Tomb Raider. ---

From [http://steamcommunity.com/tradingcards/](http://steamcommunity.com/tradingcards/): > [@](#): > > Once you’ve collected a set of cards you can craft them into a game badge. Like the current badges, they are tied to your account and are shown on your profile. Unlike the current badges, crafting game badges earns you marketable items like emoticons, profile backgrounds, and coupons. Level up your badge by collecting the set again and earning more items. I have Wolfgang Foil, Dead Island Riptide and Reus that I could trade away for Torchlight 2 cards: Dark Alchemist, Engineer, or Outlander. Same name on Steam. ---

So, how do you actually trade cards with people? I see a “Sell” button, but no “Trade” button anywhere. ---
