Animated backgrounds on Steam community market

Some time ago i noticed a background in my inventory that i got from a steam event was actually animated, i also noticed it was available on the steam market, this had me wondering if there were any other animated backgrounds that i could get without spending a ton of points on the shop.
After being unable to filter background types and finding quite a few skeptical people online that denied the existence of marketable animated backgrounds i decided to research and create this discussion.

Animated backgrounds on the market:

For the king backgrounds:
Burning Forest Nighttime
The Lich Crypt

Dreaming Sarah background:
Watchers

Dota 2 background:
Starry Night

Stellaris backgrounds:
Stellaris Apocalypse
Stellaris Nemesis

Seen backgrounds:
Seen Nebula Red
Seen Nebula Purple
Seen Nebula Blue
Alone in the dark

Griftlands backgrounds:

Overcooked 2 backgrounds:
Cosmos
Moon Festival

Control ultimate edition backgrounds:

Total of 54.000 points saved

27 backgrounds for 2000 points each, it means a lot if you're a collector. Please share and comment if you find any mistakes or more backgrounds. Thanks for reading.

Make a guide and maybe, just maybe, I'll award it, if you don't beg for them.

I didn't do it for the awards, i did it to help other steam users. And as i said, 100% optional, if you found it useful and can't award i won't mind at all.

so is it possible to buy one of these in the pointsshop via steam points and then sell them on the market or do they come out of crafting badges randomly like other backgrounds? would be nice off course if all animated bgs are available on the market

I believe its possible to sell them, would be a profit if you could sell the nekopara ones. The backgrounds that you can't find are probably all new and the ones on the market are just updated backgrounds, that were once just regular backgrounds.

So for example, if I make a set on these games, does that mean I have a chance to get these backgrounds?

It looks like you can get them from crafting the badge as rare backgrounds but it's doubtful one can get them from the point shop and sell on market. Those from point shop are tagged as not sellable, not tradeable.

They are not moving on market preview for me. Did they fixed it or it's something from my side?

yeah they dont show the animation in the preview, you have to know which are animated

Sorry, but the wallpapers in the marketplace aren't animated. They may have the same names as an animated one, and may look the same, but they aren't. Don't believe me, buy a cheap one and set it as your profile background and watch nothing happen.
