  • The Steam Trading Cards system was released on May 15, 2013 as a new element to the steam community. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is the first Counter-Strike game to support Steam Trading Cards and so far, the only one. Playing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive for some time will grant the player random trading card drops. When the game is purchased, a player will receive a limited amount of free card drops. To get more, he must purchase items within the game. These cards can also be obtained by trading with friends or buying them from the Steam Market. Collecting the entire series allows them to be traded in for a level 1 badge (or upgrade it to the next level if the player already has one. The maximum level is 5), a randomly selected emoticon, and a randomly selected Steam profile background. The first upgrade will earn 100 experience points, the second is 200, the 3rd is 300, and the 4th is 400. T the maximum level is worth 500 points. There is also a special highlighted (AKA Foil) version which is rare and requires highlighted (AKA Foil) cards to get this badge. These cards usually cost more and are rare.
  • A user may randomly get a duplicate card or buy more than one of the same card, the cards and items can also be sold on the community market or traded between players. They also be broken into games to create booster packs which includes a set of random cards from a certain game. There are foil variations of the trading cards which are rare and usually expensive on the community market, these are used to craft the foil badge which can be shown on a user's profile along with the standard badge. Each user is eligible for a booster pack which is a set of 3 trading cards that may include both basic and foil cards. booster packs are given randomly to random users as more badges are crafted by members of the community. It is best to remain logged in for at least every week to maintain eligibility. Users may also get emoticons, backgrounds and other items by crafting game badges. Badges, screenshots and other items can also be showcased on a user's profile once they reached level 10 on Steam (which can increased by buying games, getting achievements, and crafting badges to gain XP).

Regular Cards are the most common drop of the pair and can randomly drop from any of the 8 existing variants of Warframe cards, Where as Foil Trading cards being the rarer of the latter. Said cards can become crafted when all 8 are collected, enabling the account owner to level up their Warframe Steam Badge to a maximum of 5 for regular cards (As seen here), and a maximum of 1 for Foil cards. With each badge craft a random Emotion or Profile background is awarded. During December 10, 2013 to January 3, 2014, Steam held their Holiday Sale 2013 where spending every $10 would grant the user a trading card to craft into the Steam Holiday Sale 2013 Badge, Warframe was included within these cards and crafting a regular variant of this badge would earn the user a free in-game item from a select number of games along with the usual crafting rewards (Emoticon, Background), the Phased Skins was a possible reward from this. Crafting a foil variant would give the user five random in-game items as opposed to one.
