SG 553 | Bleached (Field-Tested)

The SG 553 | Bleached (Field-Tested) shows the Consumer Grade animal-skull design with a touch of honest wear. It's the most commonly seen grade for this budget finish.

Design

Animal skulls are spray-painted across the rifle's body in a stark, weathered pattern that fits the desert theme of its collection. Valve created the finish, which comes with the line "All that remains."

SG 553 | Bleached (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

Sitting mid-range in the 0.00–0.50 float span, Field-Tested picks up light scuffing without disrupting the skull artwork's overall shape. It's the balance point between the finish's look and its already low price.

SG 553 | Bleached Rarity

Rarity: Consumer Grade, the lowest and most common tier of the standard weapon rarities. This is the main reason the whole finish is priced so low.

SG 553 | Bleached Case and Collection

This finish belongs to The 2021 Dust 2 Collection, which arrived with Operation Riptide in September 2021. With no case tied to the collection, the market is the standard way to buy one.

SG 553 | Bleached Patterns

The skull design doesn't vary between copies — there's no paint seed to look for and no blue-gem version of this skin. Wear and float are what actually differ from one copy to the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

Bleached exists as a regular finish and a Souvenir finish, with no StatTrak version available. Souvenir copies first appeared in the Stockholm 2021 Dust II Souvenir Package, and later Major souvenir packages have added more since.

SG 553 | Bleached Price

Field-Tested sits in the middle of the price ladder, cheaper than Minimal Wear and Factory New while keeping the skull design clear. For a finish this affordable, it's the grade most buyers pick without a second thought. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Field-Tested a smart choice for Bleached?

Yes — the design still reads clearly at this grade, and the price is a bit lower than Minimal Wear or Factory New. Given how cheap the whole finish already is, Field-Tested offers good value without much visual tradeoff.

Does the Souvenir version cost more?

Typically yes. Souvenir copies tend to trade at a premium over the regular finish because they're tied to specific Major-tournament packages rather than ongoing collection drops.

Why does the skull pattern still look clear at Field-Tested?

The wear at this grade is fairly light, and the artwork's scattered, high-contrast design hides minor scuffing well, so the overall look stays close to the cleaner grades.
