Just a quick question here: Can I get multiple booster packs for one game? I'm thinking I can get only one but I don't remember it actually saying so anywhere in the Trading Card FAQ or any other place. It might be easy to check if I'm eligible to get another once I get one, but I can't do that because I haven't received a single booster pack yet (and I have what, four games where I'm eligible for one, soon to be even more games).

It's still not 100% clear how you get the first one, but I guess you have to, or else there wouldn't be enough cards out there would there?

You get the first booster pack randomly after you've collected all the normal drops (typically half of all the available cards). A booster pack is three cards. A typical game has eight cards and you get half of them - that is, four - as normal drops which you earn just by buying the game. Then you need the booster pack for three more drops which brings you to a total of seven cards out of eight so you still need to get one more from somewhere else. That's why I'm asking if it's possible to get a second booster pack (before completing the badge of course).

But have you managed to get a booster pack? Because the conditions for triggering it don't seem to indicate that it is any game in particular. When you make a badge, you get a random card, but from my observations, that isn't necessarily a card from within your set. So I don't know if the booster pack is game specific

Also, you can get second levels on your badges, so purely to allow a reasonable percentage of people to get badges, surely you must be able to get more than one booster pack?
