Katowice 2014 Titan Holo Sticker Sells for $80,000 USD

On September 5th, 2023, an ultra-rare Counter-Strike 2 sticker sold for a record value of $80,000 USD on a Chinese CS2 skin marketplace called Buff163, an online platform owned and operated by the publicly traded, multi-billion dollar company Netease Games.

Unlike on the Steam Community Market, this $80,000 USD is easily transferable to real-world currency as the sale happened on a third-party skin marketplace, none of which are affiliated with Valve. The sticker that sold was the iconic Titan (Holo) | Katowice 2014 from the Katowice 2014 Counter-Strike: Global Offensive major.

CS2 Skin Market News

Titan Holos are obtained by unboxing an EMS Katowice 2014 Legends sticker capsule, once sold for $0.25 per capsule during the time of this Esport tournament. Since then, the price has climbed all the way to $30,000+ per capsule.

After a decade of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and sarcastic jokes over the years about a sequel to CS:GO. The new game is finally here and available to play in a beta version. Looming over the entire skin community was the question of whether skins from CS:GO would be transferable to the new game.

The lucky few players randomly selected for beta access were able to see their old skins in a vibrant and intricate game engine. The community collectively took a deep sigh of relief and began pouring their savings into skin investments. As the new game should bring all the old players and current players together, skins became a safer investment once again, as old players who sold off their collection are highly likely to re-purchase a skin loadout.

Rising Skin and Sticker Prices

With the official release of Counter-Strike 2 around the corner, there seemingly is no stop to how much players are willing to sink into their skin investments and collections. The Katowice 2014 Titan (Holo) sticker was considered overpriced at every price it has ever been at. When an item is at a record-high price, it is easy to look at its previous values and laugh at the players who are happily buying.

At this time, no one knows if the Katowice 2014 Titan (Holo) will ever sell for more than $80,000. Given that this digital sticker costs more than your average sports car, it seems unlikely, but if we know anything about the CS2 skin economy, it’s not prices are not limited by reason.

One thing is for sure, and that is that skins genuinely have no limits. Maybe one day, players will look back at this sticker sale and be amazed at how it was worthy of an entire article to be written on it. Or, we will forever laugh at the collector who purchased a digital sticker that eventually became worthless. Or perhaps he will be the one laughing when the Titan (Holo) | Katowice 2014 crosses a price of $100,000.
