SG 553 | Phantom (Minimal Wear)

The SG 553 | Phantom (Minimal Wear) shows a Restricted finish hand painted in blue and gray with orange accents, just below the top grade. It's a strong-looking pick that stays close to Factory New condition here.

Design

Blue and gray dominate the base color scheme, offset by orange accents in a hand-painted, high-contrast style. Community artist DasDas designed it, and it carries the line "A ScyTech procurement."

SG 553 | Phantom (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

Minimal Wear sits just above Factory New in the finish's 0.00–0.60 float cap. Only the lightest wear shows up at this grade, and the blue-gray-and-orange color scheme still reads sharp across most of the body — a near-top look for a modest price drop.

SG 553 | Phantom Rarity

This is a Restricted skin, the purple tier that sits above Mil-Spec and below Classified — a genuinely uncommon grade among case drops.

SG 553 | Phantom Case and Collection

The Phantom comes from the Spectrum 2 Case, part of The Spectrum 2 Collection released in September 2017. Restricted-tier skins collectively make up around 15.98% of the case's odds, putting this finish in the moderately common range.

SG 553 | Phantom Patterns

Every copy shows the identical hand-painted layout — the artwork is fixed, with no random paint seed and nothing resembling a blue gem to chase. Float and wear are the only real differences between units.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak version is available for the Phantom, pulled from the same Spectrum 2 Case, with a permanent confirmed-kill counter that follows the item through trades and sales. No Souvenir version exists, since Souvenir weapons only come from Major-tournament packages and this finish has never appeared in one.

SG 553 | Phantom Price

Minimal Wear sits just below Factory New on the price ladder, keeping nearly the same crisp color scheme for a bit less — still within the finish's affordable mid-tier range for the SG 553. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.
