Market Cycles
Every Major follows a pattern: Hype, Crash (during the 75% off sale), and a Slow Climb in the months following. We are currently in the post-sale consolidation phase for the latest Major, which historically has been the safest entry point for investors.
Holos vs Golds vs Glitters
Data shows that Holo stickers often outperform Golds in ROI due to their liquidity and application frequency in crafts. Golds are rare, but they are often kept by collectors and not applied. Glitters have shown volatility and are riskier. Our advice: Stick to high-tier Holos that look good on popular skins (AK-47 Slate, AWP Graphite).
Team vs Player Autographs
Team logos generally have broader appeal. However, standout performances by star players (like m0NESY or ZywOo) can make their specific autographs skyrocket. Keep an eye on teams with extensive fanbases like G2 and NaVi. Their stickers historically hold value regardless of tournament performance.
