The only Contraband skin is the M4A4 Howl. The most common grade of skin is ‘Consumer’ and the rarest is ‘Contraband’ (only one skin has been assigned this exclusive grading). This is categorized by tiers, of which there are eight levels. Whether or not something can be deemed a ‘collector’s item’ or not, initially depends on skin rarity. It is a blue gem Karambit, the best pattern, and is the only one in Factory New condition. Part of the reason for this is that the chance of opening the same knife from cases is roughly 1 in 371 million. It was bought in 2016 for a little over $100,000, but is now valued considerably higher.Īlthough it hasn’t been sold yet, the owner turned down an offer of €1.2m (around $1.5m USD at the time) – suggesting that for someone to be able to acquire it, they would have to pay more than $1.5 million USD. This exact Case Hardened Karambit, Factory New, pattern 387 (blue gem), is an almost mythical skin. The owner of this Karambit turned down an offer of €1.2m. The M4A4 Howl is the only ‘Contraband’ grade skin in CS:GO, due to the controversy over ownership of the artwork. With so few of these stickers in circulation, their near-mythical status, and the fact they just look good, all means you’ll likely have to pay upwards of $50,000 for one of these stickers. They are incredibly rare, especially unapplied, so it’s really a straightforward supply + demand issue. iBuyPower was the team that infamously got exposed for match-fixing, but the reason the stickers became so expensive is actually pretty simple. In particular, we’re talking about the holo stickers for two teams that competed at IEM Katowice 2014: Titan and iBuyPower.Īlthough other team stickers from the event, such as Dignitas or LDLC, can also fetch a high price, these two are the top dogs. These extremely rare stickers are the most expensive in CS:GO, from the Katowice 2014 event.Īlthough we’ve mentioned various knives and weapon skins here, there is one item in CS:GO that is perhaps the most eye-popping when it comes to price, and that is rare stickers.
