Counter-Strike stickers are more than just simple cosmetic items. They allow players to personalize their weapons and show off a bit of flair during matches. Much like skins, stickers can vary in rarity and price, making them collectibles for players and investors alike. Whether you’re looking to make a statement with flashy stickers or invest in rare finds, we’ve put together a list of the best stickers that one can buy in CS2.
The value of CS stickers depends on several factors, including rarity, design (i.e. the colour such as purple, green etc.), and demand. Stickers from discontinued events, limited-time capsules, or those featuring esports teams are often more valuable. Another key aspect is the age of the sticker; older, high-quality stickers tend to be more scarce, which drives up their price. Additionally, stickers that look particularly good on popular weapon skins or have iconic designs often become community favorites, further inflating their worth. Finally, some stickers act as autographs from professional players – this drives up the price a lot considering some are more iconic than others. Players like s1mple or kennyS will definitely fetch a higher price than more unknown competitors due to their popularity and status as legends of the sport.
Prices can fluctuate based on market trends, esports tournament results, and general player demand, but the stickers below have consistently held their value and appeal.
1. Titan (Holo) | Katowice 2014
The Titan (Holo) from the legendary Katowice 2014 tournament is one of the most sought-after stickers in CS history. Its holographic blue design with a lightning bolt-like logo makes it instantly recognizable. As one of the rarest stickers available, it’s a major flex for any player, and its price reflects its legendary status. One of the cleanest-looking stickers from undeniably the most coveted Major capsule released in Global Offensive, it also gets its prestige from the fact that Titan was one of the first powerhouses in CS:GO’s early days.
- Price: $60,000-80,000+ USD
2. iBUYPOWER (Holo) | Katowice 2014
Arguably the holy grail of CS stickers, the iBUYPOWER (Holo) from Katowice 2014 skyrocketed in value after the infamous match-fixing scandal involving the iBUYPOWER team. Its rarity and backstory have made it a coveted piece for collectors. The bright, fiery logo stands out, making it an excellent choice for players who want to showcase an iconic piece of CS history. These stickers are usually found on red-themed weapons such as the Redline family or even on obscure crafts that were made around 2014-2015, long before their match fixing scandal took place. If you’re lucky, there may be a few skins on the Steam Community Marketplace bearing one or two iBUYPOWER Holographic stickers that will go for well under the price of a singular unused sticker.
- Price: $60,000-80,000
3. Crown (Foil)
The Crown (Foil) is a classy and minimalist sticker that exudes elegance. With a sleek gold crown design, this sticker has gained a reputation for being versatile and stylish. Its foil finish gives it a reflective shine, making it pop on almost any weapon. These are mostly seen on the highest-tiered skins such as the AWP | Dragon Lore, AWP | Gungnir, and AK-47 | Fire Serpent.
- Price: $500 USD on average
4. Flammable (Holo)
The Flammable (Holo) sticker from the Community Capsule 1 is a popular choice for its unique, fiery design. The holographic effect makes the flames appear to flicker, giving your gun an animated, high-energy look. Its relative affordability makes it accessible to a broader audience while still being a desirable collectible. Placing it on skins such as the M4A4 | The Coalition, whose color scheme matches the Flammable sticker extremely well, will result in a well thought-out craft.
- Price: $100 USD on average
5. Team LDLC (Holo) | Katowice 2014
- Another classic from Katowice 2014, the Team LDLC (Holo) sticker features a simple yet effective design with a cool blue holographic finish. Team LDLC’s sticker is a favorite among collectors due to its rarity and vibrant design, as well as the fact that it’s linked to one of the most historic CS:GO tournaments.
- Price: Anywhere from $10,000 to $100,000 – market fluctuates a lot
6. Howling Dawn
The Howling Dawn sticker has become iconic thanks to its bold and artistic wolf design. Remaining the only Contraband sticker in the entire game to this day, it remains a favorite due to its detailed art and stark color contrast, which makes it stand out on any weapon. Taking a nod from the ever-infamous and banned M4A4 | Howl Skin, the Howling Dawn sticker has also maintained significant popularity due to its connection with the Contraband rifle skin.
- Price: $1200+ USD
7. Vox Eminor (Holo) | Katowice 2014
Known for its vibrant yellow and orange holographic effect, the Vox Eminor (Holo) sticker is one of the most visually striking from Katowice 2014. The combination of rarity, color, and esports nostalgia has made it a highly desirable piece among collectors. The team’s unique logo design also plays a huge part in its price and appeal.
- Price: $40,000+ USD
8. Dignitas (Holo) | Katowice 2014
The Dignitas (Holo) sticker from Katowice 2014 features a distinct and sleek design with a futuristic vibe. The sticker’s holographic effect adds depth and dynamic color changes depending on the angle. This makes it not only rare but also an aesthetically pleasing choice for any weapon. Add to the fact that Dignitas have since rebranded and changed their logo to a more modern look makes owning a piece of Counter-Strike history with the organization’s original look a lot more desirable.
- Price: $25,000 USD on average
9. HellRaisers (Holo) | Katowice 2014
The HellRaisers (Holo) sticker is well-loved for its bold red and orange holographic logo. Despite the team’s fall from prominence, this sticker remains one of the most recognizable and expensive esports stickers on the market. Add the fact that, apart from iBUYPOWER, HellRaisers were the only red-colored team at that specific Major and are a relatively cheaper purchase than even a single iBUYPOWER sticker.
- Price: $10,000+ USD (currently no available listings online)
10. s1mple (Gold) | Krakow 2017
The most valuable sticker of the single greatest Global Offensive player of all time.
