Steam Trading Cards recently launched in May 2013. Trade offers and card binder features will not be available at launch, but will be added at a later date.<\/p>\n
The announcment was made in a recent blog post<\/a> by Valve. In the announcement Valve said that “making trading cards available to all Steam users is a step towards an event we think everyone can be excited about.”<\/p>\n This event could be almost anything.
