Had another trading-card-related epiphany (that worked this time): in the initial 24 hours or so, the sell price for Sale-related cards was extremely high, topping about 12 hours in then sinking fast until they're about 15 cents, then gradually dropped to 10 by the end of the sale. The same happened this time, as cards are going for 60-80 cents in this initial land-grab; by the end of the sale, they'll be down to the 8-10 cents.
So, I found the cheapest cards I was missing (where overall cost for crafting a badge was less than selling a globe-related card) to craft badges, then sold the globe card. Rinse, repeat. Now, I'm about where I was in wallet funds, but 4 badges richer and three levels higher (passing Lv20, which means increased pack drop rate).
Come Jan 1, I will be getting a gift card for Gamestop, where I will buy a Steam Wallet card. I will then splurge on the now-cheap Globe Cards, craft them, and hope for a rare item drop, which I will proceed to turn around and sell. (Well, assuming they become sellable.)
