How To Buy Autograph Stickers IEM Cologne Major in CS2

The IEM Cologne 2026 Major brought a massive update to Counter-Strike 2, completely revolutionizing how players collect tournament stickers. For the first time in CS history, random sticker capsules are a thing of the past. Valve has introduced a brand-new Major Shop with dynamic pricing, meaning you can finally buy the exact player autographs you want without relying on luck.  

If you are looking to get your hands on your favorite pro's signature, here is a complete guide to purchasing autograph stickers in CS2.

Purchase Major Tokens

The currency for all IEM Cologne Major items is now Tokens. You can no longer buy stickers directly with your Steam Wallet funds from a standard store page.  

1. Open CS2 and navigate to the IEM Cologne 2026 Major hub from the main menu.

2. Look for the option to purchase Tokens.

3. Buy the amount of tokens you need using your Steam Wallet.

Access the Major Shop

Once your account is loaded with tokens, head into the Major Shop. This new storefront replaces the old capsule system and features an interface where every single team logo and player autograph from the Cologne Major is listed.

Select Your Desired Autograph

You are no longer bound by RNG. The shop allows you to filter and browse for the exact items you want for your weapon crafts.

• Search by Player: You can easily type in the name of your favorite pro to pull up their specific signatures.

• Choose Your Finish: Select between the available variants—Paper, Holographic, Foil, or Gold.  

• Redeem: Click on the sticker you want and spend your tokens to add it straight to your inventory. 

Dynamic Pricing System

The biggest change to the CS2 sticker market is how these autographs are priced. The Major Shop operates like a live trading terminal:  

• Demand Drives the Price: Sticker costs fluctuate constantly based on community demand. If thousands of fans rush to buy a specific Gold autograph, the token price for that sticker will rise, while the prices of less popular stickers will drop.  

• The 24-Hour Price Match Refund: Buying in a dynamic market can be stressful, but Valve added a safety net. If you buy a sticker and its price drops by more than 25 tokens within 24 hours of your purchase, you will automatically receive a refund of tokens for the difference.  

Crafting with the Souvenir-O-Matic

While you are buying autographs, you will also notice the new Souvenir-O-Matic. Because random drops and traditional souvenir packages have changed, you can now craft your own Souvenir skins!  

You can take a normal weapon skin from your inventory, select a completed IEM Cologne match, and choose a specific MVP player. The tool will convert your skin into a Souvenir-quality weapon, automatically applying the gold team, map, and player autograph stickers of your choice.
