Steam now has trading cards. In order to get them, you're supposed to play specific games (currently there are only 6 games supported, but they've said more will come).
However, it's only possible to find half of the total trading cards for each game – you have to trade for the other half.
Can I find the same trading card twice in the same game (and if so, will that count against my allowed card-pickups)?
Is it possible to trade for a duplicate of a card you already own?

You certainly can find the same card twice, or even three times! And it does, sadly, count toward your card drops.
I managed to get 3 Wolfgang cards from Don't Starve, a game that only gives you three card drops.
Also, you can trade for duplicate cards. I traded my Portal 2 Destruction card to a friend who was then able to trade it back to me, despite my having a second Destruction card in my inventory.
