If you look at the stickers from MLG Columbus 2016, you can clearly see a difference in price tags.
The teams that participated in this event were Natus Vincere, Ninjas in Pyjamas, Astralis, Fnatic, Team Liquid, Counter Logic Gaming, Luminosity Gaming, Virtus. pro, FlipSid3 Tactics, mousesports, FaZe Clan, Splyce, Counter Logic Gaming, Gambit Gaming, Cloud9, G2 Esports.
Most of the stickers vary between $2 and $5 in our market, but there are some that Cheap CSGO Skins obviously exceed that price range.
Splyce stickers would be first in this list. As a small team that probably won’t appear again in a CS: GO Major, the stickers are very few and far between, making them a desirable rarity. The suggested price for a Foil is already at $25. 39, but the current asking price is higher, between $40 and $100.
Obviously winning the tournament brings value to your promotional items. Luminosity decals have some units valued around $75 (Holo) in our market, which initially had a price tag of $2. 55. The Evade version is currently over $150, when it initially sold for $6. 00.
Next up, Cloud9 stickers, with prices ranging from $40 to $50 for the Foil version. These peel off stickers went for as low as $9. 00 in mid March.
Not a bad investment.
This is only the first tournament for the 2016 season and there are plenty more to come with the next one being in Cologne. All of them with marketing stickers that are worth checking out and acquiring as a future investment to be sold at the worlds largest skins marketplace, OPSkins.
