I got all 3 drops in Football Manager and sold the duplicate. It now says I have 2 with no more card drops remaining, so you only get that set number of drops even if you sell/trade one

As far as I know, you still get a chance of drops, they are just more rare and come in a booster pack (the probability of which increases with level)

Personally, I have played 2 hours of FTL and got 2 drops, so the drop rate for the base cards is reasonably high, but then I guess it gets much lower for booster packs

I also don't know if booster packs only have cards for the game that you get the drop from


Thanks - I just realize this... also realize that the damn set of cards once you craft a badge can do so mutliple time - WHAT IS VALVE DOING TO ME?? ><

I really don't know, I can see this is pointless, but I have just dragged myself out of bed specifically to vote so I can get more trading cards...

Also, I think I was slightly wrong about the booster pack

How can I get a booster pack?
Once you have received all of your card drops, you become eligible for a booster pack, which is a set of 3 trading cards that may include both basic and foil cards. Booster packs are granted randomly to eligible users as more badges are crafted by members of the community. Make sure you log in to Steam each week to maintain eligibility. 

Once eligible, your Steam Level increases your rate of receiving a booster pack drop:
  • Level 10: +20% increase in your drop rate
  • Level 20: +40% increase in your drop rate
  • Level 30: +60% increase in your drop rate
  • Level 40: +80% increase in your drop rate
  • Level 50: +100% increase in your drop rate (i.e. the rate has doubled)
  • Etc.
