So I just heard a rumor that I have the sole, remaining full Kato 14 holo collection. Anyone out there know if thats true or not?
If so, I need to update my resume...
Once and for all: CS Collectors will always outlast CS Investors
If I had a dollar for every time someone told me to sell throughout the years, I'd have more Howls than
@Drepz_
. Stop panicking...
I mean...the front page of Steam doesn't even have a CS2 "now available" banner. You'd think, oh I dunno, they'd showcase the release they've been working on for years...at least a week? Like wtf is even is this release...
The whole gamba thing has me down one “friend” on a very short-list on who I was considering selling my full Kato ’14 holo collection to. Really unfortunate...
This is why I haven't sold. I don't trust anyone, anymore
In celebration of the final "CSGO"

Cologne, I’m giving away a genuine Inferno 2 digital code I've had in a drawer since the Boston 18 Major🤦♂️:

3⃣Comment on what you think I should sell my full Kato ’14 Holo sticker collection for when CS2 is out 🤷♂️
I guess you know "you've made it" when your very own item showcase/pinned tweet gets used by some random CSGO Twitter page. And I never even got a hug OR a follow 🥲
In November 2014 on the day I left the Army, I bought my most expensive CS item ever.
I paid $400 USD on the steam market (because nobody knew or cared about floats back then) for this girl and she's been mine ever since. Anyone know where the name came from?

ok I give up. Complete CS newb question:
how TF are you guys organizing your IN GAME inventory so well? I tried moving stuff in/out of containers. But that just put stuff in the same order. Is it only by trading? I got pins/skins in between collections and it looks like garbage
CS:GO Sticker Hindsight:
The Kato '14 LDLC holo was the last sticker I needed for my full Kato '14 Holo collection. I remember hesitating at the $25 USD price tag at the time thinking "...this is too expensive"
The Atlanta 2017 foil collection was the last time I went for a full collection. I was at the major and it just got to be too much buying stickers, doing pick ems, and being the NA Sign Guy. At least I have one of the best signs/reactions by casters of all time (see below 😎)
First service medal since....*had to look* 2015 lol. Had that XP brewing on a game I barely play for 8 years. This is now my most prized possession.
Never mind that other stuff....
I remember when even the CSGO casters were VIP-status enough for people to wait in line for their signatures. E-League in Atlanta seems like forever ago now. Those were the good 'ol days...

CS:GO Sticker Hindsight time...
I sold my 2nd iBUYPOWER Kato '14 holo sticker in October of 2014 for $76.50 USD. At the time, I remember thinking, "Hey, I have another one... so whatever"
Boys and girls...We all make mistakes! What's your biggest selling regret?
CSGO Hindsight:
In 2019, I sold my only knife, a Vanilla Butterfly for $469.57 USD.
I bought it back in the day (I wanna say 2015?) for like $75. Its worth quite a bit more these days. UGH...
Share your L's boys 😮💨
Let’s talk Foils: I ALWAYS thought Foils looked classier and would be worth more than Holos. Obviously time has proven me wrong🤦♂️. But it seems that CS2 has started a new-found interest in Foils based on how they look in-game. What’s the favorite OG Foil in your collection?
CS:GO Drop Hindsight:
10 minutes into Operation Breakout (July 1st 2014), I got my luckiest drop ever: A FN M4A1-S Knight. I wanted to sell it ASAP. Started the steam market sale at $260 and kept dropping the price ($200, $140, $33). On July 2nd, I sold it for $30.44. Sigh...🤦♂️
Let’s talk about this shiny lady: Terrible trigger-finger discipline aside, with only 39 left (including mine) do you think these stickers are worth the hype? We all know its story. But should scarcity always equal "OmG i lOvE ThIs StIcKeR"? I dunno...
Now Team Dignitas…These guys knew how to make a freakin logo! I have a version of every Dignitas sticker as well.
Kato 14 holo and DH 14 holo/foil are some of the coolest stickers out there imo. Who has a cool Dig craft or collection?
I wanna hear your best story where you attempted to explain to friends/family that have NO CLUE what CS:GO stickers/skins are on how much they’re actually worth.
CS:GO Sticker Hindsight:
I bought my King on the Field sticker for $9.73 USD in April 2015. This was a, “I kinda like it”, purchase and naturally, I've held on to it ever since. I kinda do that...It's now selling anywhere from $1100-1700 in the last 4 months. 🤔
I have at least one version of every Titan team sticker out there.
As far as team logos go, I actually think it’s a pretty meh logo. Col 15 and Cluj 15 gotta be some of the worst team stickers out there. What are your thoughts on Titan and what builds/stickers do you guys have?
And then there’s these turds: My full Cologne 2014 holo collection. After selling my 2nd Kato ’14 iBP holo for $85 back in the day, I swore I’d never sell my 2nd Cologne ’14 iBP holo. Let’s just say that HODL hasn't really paid off… 🤦♂️
CS:GO Sticker Hindsight:
I bought my 2nd Crown Foil sticker for $14.66 USD in April 2015. I sold it for $313.05 in June 2020 to help pay for my Valve Index VR set.
They sell for around $800+ now… What do you guys think: Profit, oops, or “Thank God you have another one”?
Time for a little CSGO Sticker Hindsight...
I bought my Howling Dawn sticker in August 2014 for $23 USD ($20 USD with fees). Worth about 2k now. Who else still has a Howling Dawn out there?
sounds like
@bibanator
also has a full collection. Haven't seen an inventory pic or anything. But it looks legit (seeing as he chimed into my thread). tbh I'm kinda relieved.
I sent a DM to him so we can link up/get on a Christmas card exchange together haha
Maybe I live under a rock for some of my babies. But when/why the hell did this little Diggy skyrocket so much?! Its like 4-5 times more than any other now. I’m guessing it looks “cool” in CSGO2 or maybe buyers are giving up on Kato ’14 holos and focusing on Cologne ’14 holos?
@TDM_Jesus
I just opened my storage case from my alt account with 800 skins, stickers, cases, and capsules, that back in the day had nothing worth over $5 in it. Dude...
These prices are insane. And YES, even I am selling stuff
Alright CSGO Twitter warriors - I get the question all the time: "So how much is your CSGO inventory actually worth?"
I...have...no...idea...
I don't do this for a living. Can someone who DOES hook me up with a general estimate? thx
CSGO Sticker Time: After 2014’s Katowice and Cologne, Dreamhack ‘14 had such a small full-foil collection (only 6) I remember being excited that I didn’t have to open too many cases/buy too many. But I still ended up with some holos that I've kept cuz its me...
Alright CS friends…
Over the next couple of weeks/months, I "may" look at selling some of my extra DH ’14 and Kato '15 holos that aren’t part of my full, foil collections. What’s the easiest, preferred site to use that isn’t buff? Would want direct USD bank deposit. Thanks!
While I’m quasi-known for my full Kato 14 holo set, I also have a full Kato 15 foil set (which I always thought Foil>Holo 🤷♂️). Turns out I kept a few holos too. Also…a Gold Kato 15 Pick ‘Em just as an OG flex 😇
@flickflops
preeetttty happy to be one of the few that still has one.
And ya...explaining it to anyone who isn't familiar with CSGO is nearly impossible
Big props/thanks to
@omar_anwari_
for the full Kato 14 sticker set. Perfect complement to the full digital collection!
This is why the CS community is so awesome 😎
Happy to see '14 Kato holo prices have made it through the end-of-the-year drought. Here's to a crazy 2022!
Always a huge thanks to
@cantryde
for his amazing website.
All the recent Kato 14 sales and 661 hype reminded me that there are some CS items that money CANT buy. I’m just as proud of my 2014-2016 Gold Pick ‘Em trophies and tournament player signatures than I am with any of my sticker collections. Thank you
@dual_csgo
for the artwork!
Yes. Even I, the ultimate holder of CSGO items, am selling stuff during this insanity.
I guess I'll get a Steam Deck... or new cars or house. I haven't decided yet🤔
@Pektor3
@Drepz_
yes, I will
The same dip we're ragging on good people for is the same surge I thought might come with CS2 for my collections. It didn't. But you also have to look at the previous 6 months of insanity that occurred. The market evens itself out and rises for good collections.
Anyone who knows me, I'm kinda known as the guy who NEVER sells my stickers. But its time to let some of the extras go. I'm pretty proud of my first EVER sticker sale on something besides the steam market. Thanks
@csfloatcom
. Slippery slope? Who knows...🤷♂️
Just stumbled on the Pricempire website today and it boggles my damn mind how a collector of old pixels, like me, can be included anywhere on their “Toplist”. Let alone

@TeamVitality
Happy 19th birthday to the game that spawned everything I love/collect. Us CS fans, owe everything to the source engine. Still got the original box from Comp USA back in '04 😎
Sigh... as much as 15 years is a "badge of honor" among the newbies these days. It WOULD have been 19 years if my OG account never got hacked back in the day. Still mad...
Refunded BF:2042...GARBAGE
Was so excited for the launch after playing hundreds/thousands of hours with BF 2, 3, and 4. But no. It's fucking terrible. How disappointing...
Happy Veterans Day to all my fellow vets out there. Afghanistan was slightly cooler than CS:GO... minus the whole "no respawning" thing
#VeteransDay2021
I wonder what the confirmed
#Aliens
will pay for a full Kato '14 holo collection? At least give me a solid offer for Dignitas🤔
Selling just got a little more interesting...
@pricempire
talk about piling on a dude when he's down 😮💨
He posted a nice post about taking a chance/having no ragerts. Lets come back to this in 3-6 months
My CSGO corner of the man cave...with swag, gen pins, and pro signatures from the three North American CSGO major tournaments and Atlanta E-League seasons 1-2 I've attended.
...sigh I miss these days. We need another NA major planned NOW!

10 years. Man, thats crazy. Its definitely been a rollercoaster all the way from "dude just sell them, they're up to $20" to "holy shit, you can buy a house with these". But it does feel pretty cool to look back and say I hung on the whole way.
It still shocks me how no one else has thought of bringing a big dry erase board/markers to these Majors. Its unlimited signs, people!! And you get to put signatures on the back. Must just be a Hawkeye thing 🤷♂️

@TeamVitality
For my next couple of tweets, we’re going back in CSGO time to better days:
In 2016, I went to MLG Columbus for the first ever NA major. I wanted to stand out, so I bought a dry-erase board, bejeweled the front, and put googly eyes on the back for fun. And oh the fun that was had
I met the GOAT(🐐) back in 2016 during E-League season 2. Humble dude then...humble dude now.
Congrats on the

@MrETrader
So its funny... none of the team ranks or status' mattered back. I always thought the Dignitas and Fnatic stickers were the coolest back in the day
