The Most Expensive CS2 Stickers in 2026: Top 10 by Price, Listings vs Sales

The most expensive CS2 sticker on the market is the Reason Gaming (Holo) from Katowice 2014, with a lowest ask of $74,716.08 on 13 October 2026, ahead of the Titan (Holo) at $68,000 and the iBUYPOWER (Holo) at $64,996. All ten of the priciest stickers that day came from that single 2014 Major. Those are asking prices; the best standing bid for a Titan Holo was $20,000.

That gap is the whole story of this market, and most "most expensive stickers" lists ignore it. This file ranks the top ten by today's lowest ask, files each figure as a listing or a sale, and shows how far a quote can swing in six months. The deeper history of the 2014 set is in our rarest Katowice 2014 stickers record, and the priciest weapon finishes have their own most expensive CS2 skins board.

The top 10 by current listing

Prices below are the cheapest live ask for each sticker, fees included, across the marketplaces SteamDB.com tracks, read on 13 October 2026 from its 12 October snapshot. A sticker with two listings worldwide can sit on this board on the strength of one seller's number, so the marketplace column matters as much as the price.

Just outside the ten sit the keshandr (Gold) from Krakow 2017 at $4,800, the Clan-Mystik (Holo) from Katowice 2014 at $4,344.52 and the s1mple (Gold) from Krakow 2017 at $4,150.

Asks, bids and the six-month swing

A listing tells you what one seller hopes to get. For the Titan (Holo), the cheapest ask on 13 October 2026 was $68,000 on CSFloat, the same sticker was listed at $149,432.16 on BUFF163, and the best bid anywhere in SteamDB.com's data was $20,000. A seller who needed cash that day and took that bid would have kept about $19,600 after a 2% seller fee like CSFloat's. Any single "price" for this sticker is a choice between those numbers.

Over the 183 days to 12 October 2026, the Titan's lowest ask ranged from $60,000 to $148,302, and the iBUYPOWER's from $58,000 to $99,999. A swing that wide in six months is not a price trend; it is the effect of very few listings. When one seller lists or withdraws, the quote can move by tens of thousands of dollars overnight.

Keeper's note: our September file quoted an average market value above $125,000 for the Titan (Holo). Today's lowest ask is $68,000. Both can be true, because an average of asks and the cheapest ask measure different things. Neither is a sale.

Record sales and listings of crafted skins

Stickers reach their biggest numbers once they are applied to a weapon, and here the sources are thinner still. The best-documented case is a StatTrak Minimal Wear AK-47 | Case Hardened with pattern 661 and four Titan Holos. Dexerto reported in November 2022 that its owner, the Danish collector Luksusbums, had bought it in 2021 for around $150,000 and was then listing it at €431,000, about $447,000.

That second row is a listing, and later write-ups that call it a sale skip a step we could not verify. Dexerto also reported that BUFF had to raise its price limit to accept the listing, which shows where trades of this size happen. For the sale side of record skins, where pattern rather than stickers carries the price, see the AK-47 blue gem record.

Why Katowice 2014 dominates

The 2014 Katowice capsules were the first Major stickers ever sold, released on 6 March 2014, available only during the event and never reissued. The Holo versions were the rarest pulls, and on SteamDB.com's board the same team crest costs 1.9 to 32.5 times more in Holo than in paper. Every application removes a copy for good, so supply only falls.

No later Major comes close. The most expensive Katowice 2015 sticker, the Vox Eminor (Holo), had a lowest ask of $1,468.40 on 13 October 2026, and the top Cologne 2014 sticker, the Team Dignitas (Holo), $701.15. The full story of the 2014 set, team by team, is on the Katowice 2014 page.

Newer Major stickers: nowhere near the list

Some catalogues suggest recent Major golds are climbing into the top ranks. The data we read does not show it. The most expensive Cologne 2026 team crest on 13 October 2026 was the Falcons (Holo) at $71.74, and the dearest Boston 2018 crest was the 100 Thieves (Holo) at $499. Player golds from Krakow 2017 are the exception that gets closest, with keshandr and s1mple both above $4,000.

Newer stickers are sold to a far larger audience and stay on sale for weeks, so supply is orders of magnitude higher. They can appreciate, but for one to reach five figures it would need the scarcity Katowice 2014 had by accident, and modern capsule sales make that very unlikely.

Why the top stickers trade off Steam

Steam caps any single Community Market listing at $1,800 and any Wallet balance at $2,000, and it takes 15% of each sale (a 5% Steam fee plus a 10% Counter-Strike 2 fee). Every sticker in the top ten is priced well above that cap, so none can be sold on Steam at all. That is why every row names CSFloat, BUFF163 or Youpin instead.

Off-Steam markets charge far less to sell, but they come with their own checks. If you are pricing one of these stickers, compare the ask and the bid on more than one venue; peer-to-peer markets such as CSFloat and Skinport show each listing individually, which is the only way to see whether a sticker is unapplied and which edition it is.

Do stickers add value to a skin?

Usually far less than the sticker cost. Applying one consumes it: the sticker's own tradeable value is gone, and what remains is whatever a buyer will pay for that particular combination. For ordinary stickers that premium is close to nothing. For Katowice 2014 Holos it can be large, but it depends on the gun, the placement and the condition of the stickers, and nobody publishes a price index for crafts.

So treat a craft as a collectible in its own right, priced by negotiation rather than by adding up its parts. The Souvenir Dragon Lore is the clearest example of stickers multiplying a skin's value, and it is told in the souvenir AWP Dragon Lore record. Whether paying five figures for paper belongs in anyone's savings plan is discussed in is investing in CS2 skins worth it.

Edge cases

• Supply counts. Figures such as "about 250 iBUYPOWER Holos left" circulate widely. Valve publishes no supply data and none of these counts shows its method, so we do not rank by them.
• Holo vs paper vs Foil. The same crest exists in several editions. Check the edition in the listing name; the paper Reason Gaming at $5,653.23 is a different item from the Holo at $74,716.08.
• Scraped stickers. A sticker on a gun can be scraped, which damages and eventually deletes it. Wear on an applied sticker changes what a craft is worth.
