I've bought games just from sitting there for an hour and selling those cards. All these years and i still have no idea why people buy them.

If you complete a set you get xp and level up your profile. I sell the expensive cards I get from my games and buy the cheap ones to get a full set. I'm on level 52 and I never put any money on steam for any reason other than buying games. My profile looks cool because of this and I like it.

I'm not going to knock your good time. I'm glad someone enjoys them.
