For the last two years I have been building up them dumb cards. WTF are they for? Who buys imaginary cards?

Selling, getting 'badges' to increase your 'Steam Level' and flair on your profile.

It used to actually be potentially profitable to craft the badges during a Steam and sell the sale specific card for more than it cost to craft the badge. But that was back when no one was able to get their free cards until the sale had been going on for 16 hours (3 community choice votes).
Now it's mostly just for bragging rights for having a higher Steam level, though increasing your Steam level does give you additional options for your profile and increases the chance of receiving booster packs (free money). Technically you might be able to come close to breaking even thanks to the increased market cost of emoticons/backgrounds thanks to gems, but nothing like it used to be where you could turn a profit of $0.20-$0.30 per badge.
I just sell whatever cards I get. I haven't bothered to craft any badges (other than hanging on to the last 3-4 days of Steam sale cards to craft one of the badges just to have it on my profile) since the 2014 Winter sale.
