Most Expensive CS2 Stickers

CSGO stickers may seem like such a simple accessory in Counter-Strike when it comes to aesthetics given that custom weapon finishes are already in a league of their own, but they can really make the difference when it comes to not just appearance but even value as well. Some stickers are even more expensive than some of the most valuable skins ever released. But why exactly is that?

What Makes CSGO/CS2 Stickers Valuable?

Rarity is a major driver of sticker cost. Most stickers are readily available, but some are exclusive to limited-edition capsule collections released during CS:GO or CS2 Major tournaments. Once the capsule sale window closes, these stickers become permanently unavailable, creating a finite pool that dwindles as players use or trade them. This scarcity naturally drives prices up, especially for stickers associated with popular teams or winning tournaments. Basically, the widely acknowledged law of supply and demand is what affects sticker prices the most.

 

Popularity plays a significant role as well. Stickers featuring logos or autographs of well-known players or teams are much more sought after. That being said, teams that are now defunct or players that have since retired also generally see their prices rise due to the fact that there is a strong chance no newer versions will be made again. Players that retired nearly a decade ago such as Adil “ScreaM” Benrlitom have in-game stickers that cost a lot due to the player’s popularity and the rarity of said stickers. Sticker condition also affects value. Stickers come in various finishes, with certain variations like Holo, Foil, Glitter, and Gold offering a holographic, glittery, or otherwise just pristine gold appearance. These finishes are rarer and visually more appealing, making them significantly more expensive than their standard “Paper” counterparts.

The Most Expensive Stickers in Counter-Strike 2

Here are the CSGO most expensive stickers.

1. Titan (Holo) | EMS One Katowice 2014 – Around $60,000+

The single rarest and most valuable sticker in all of Counter-Strike, the Titan Holographic sticker  from 2014’s Katowice Major is the holy grail of all stickers in the game. The Major (and sticker capsule)’s age, combined with the clean blue appearance of the sticker itself and the team it is associated with all contribute to the overwhelming valuation. The Titan Holo sticker from EMS One Katowice 2014 is used in many high-tier skin crafts, being used mostly on AK-47 | Case Hardened Blue Gems and AK-47 | Vulcan finishes.

2. iBUYPOWER (Holo) | EMS One Katowice 2014 – Around $60,000+

Dabbling in the same tier as the Titan Holographic sticker, the EMS One Katowice 2014 iBUYPOWER Holo team sticker is well-known as one of the most sought-after stickers in the entire game, but for one very infamous reason. Unlike Titan who were just a product of good logo design and a great team, iBUYPOWER is most known for the biggest match fixing scandal in all of CS:GO wherein four of their five players were banned for life. This culminated in the brand’s infamy, but also inherently made it a lot “cooler” to own something with the iBUYPOWER logo on it.

3. Reason (Holo) | EMS One Katowice 2014 – Around $50,000+

One of the genuinely most impressive looking stickers in all of CS, the Reason Holo from EMS One Katowice 2014 is simply desired for being cool. A giant R with a holographic orange background and a joystick in the middle of the logo? That’s the stuff of legend. Its value is also driven up by the fact that it also goes well with many different weapon finishes, specifically the Asiimov line.

4. Vox Eminor (Holo) | EMS One Katowice 2014 – Around $40,000+

Vox Eminor, like many on this list, are valuable because of one thing – the design looks incredibly cool. The first word of their brand in all capital letters with a menacing face drawn inside the “O” is a recipe for success. When that exact design comes in a holographic form of the single most valuable sticker capsule in existence? It’s no wonder the price range for this specific sticker is around the $40,000 mark.

5. Dignitas (Holo) | EMS One Katowice 2014 – Around $25,000+

Dignitas have one of the simplest yet cleanest and best-looking old logos out there. The ghost-looking logo can be easily paired with many different kinds of weapons thus making it a very sought-after sticker for crafting. In addition to the overall design and rarity, the team itself also housed three future Major legends in Peter “dupreeh” Rasmussen, Nicolai “dev1ce” Reedtz, and Andreas “Xyp9x” Højsleth.

6. LDLC (Holo) | EMS One Katowice 2014 – Around $20,000+

Known back in the day for being one of the best French squads around, LDLC’s holo sticker from EMS One Katowice stands out as one of the most colorful variants out there. The holographic glow shines well on the LDLC logo, with the price of the sticker increasing due to the VAC ban imposed on Hovik ‘KQLY’ Tovmassian for cheating. Just like the case with iBUYPOWER, people tend to be more interested in something that has a slight negative connotation to it due to its infamy.

7. HellRaisers (Holo) | EMS One Katowice 2014 – Around $10,000+

With a team named HellRaisers, its marketability is bound to be easy. Everything about the brand speaks cool – from the logo, the name, and even the players they had in Katowice 2014 with Mikhail “Dosia” Stolyarov and Däuren “AdreN” Qystaubaev. Though not as expensive as the other stickers on this list, a five-digit price point is still no joke and it does extremely well in providing nice color on any weapon finish it is applied to.

8. Natus Vincere (Holo) | EMS One Katowice 2014 – Around $10,000+

Such an iconic organization deserves a spot on this list. From way before CS:GO was even a thing up until the current days of Counter-Strike 2, Natus Vincere has been synonymous with big tournaments. That’s why it isn’t too much of a surprise to know that their EMS One Katowice 2014 Holo sticker is one of the most valuable in the game. Their unique yellow-on-black design that proudly boasts the organization’s name is an all time classic and one they have reverted back to in recent years, albeit with a modern take.

9. LGB (Holo) | EMS One Katowice 2014 – Around $5,000+

One of the least valuable team holographic stickers from this era, LGB still holds its own and fetches a high price thanks to the sticker’s overall design. Its clean, red look shines even brighter in holographic form and can be used in a number of different skins such as the Redline and Vulcan lines.

10. s1mple (Gold) | PGL Major Krakow 2017 – Around $5,000+

The fact that Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev’s autograph sticker is the only one of its kind even remotely close to the most valuable stickers in the game says all you need to know about him as a player. The best autograph sticker of the best CSGO player of all time, it’s truly one of the biggest collector’s items out there.
