What a Souvenir is
Souvenir skins drop only from Souvenir packages earned or bought around Major tournaments. Each carries gold event stickers and exists in far smaller supply than normal drops — packages from old Majors are gone forever.
CS2 Souvenir Premium — What Souvenir Skins Really Cost
Every skin with both a normal and a Souvenir price, matched pair by pair (same skin, same wear) across markets. The median premium right now is +224.22% across 1,234 pairs — but collector favourites from retired Major collections trade at multiples of the normal price. Sort the table to see where the gold stickers are nearly free and where they cost a fortune.

Both prices are the lowest live multi-market quote for the same skin and wear. Premium = Souvenir price over the normal price.
How the Souvenir premium works
Why premiums vary
Iconic collection skins (Dragon Lore, Desert Hydra) carry enormous premiums because collectors chase them and supply is frozen. Souvenirs of unpopular skins can trade near — or even below — the normal price.
Collector math
Souvenir value is about scarcity, sticker events and map collections, not gameplay. Check sales volume before treating a big premium as liquid: some pairs price wide but trade thin.
Souvenir FAQ
What makes a skin Souvenir in CS2?
Souvenir skins come exclusively from Souvenir packages tied to Major tournaments. They carry gold event stickers commemorating the event, teams or players, and cannot be crafted or unboxed from normal cases.
Why are some Souvenir skins so expensive?
Supply is capped forever: packages for a given Major stop dropping when the event ends. For iconic collections — like Cobblestone with the AWP Dragon Lore — collector demand meets a shrinking supply, producing premiums of hundreds of percent.
Can a Souvenir skin be cheaper than the normal version?
Yes. For skins nobody collects, the souvenir market is illiquid and stale listings can sit below the normal price. The table shows negative premiums when that happens — verify such quotes before trading.
Do Souvenir skins have StatTrak?
No. Souvenir and StatTrak™ are mutually exclusive: a skin drop is either a normal, StatTrak™ or Souvenir version. Souvenir drops also cannot be used in trade-up contracts.
