What makes a copy Souvenir

The Souvenir AUG | Sand Storm (Well-Worn, WW) is the Souvenir copy of this skin — the same Restricted finish, handed out in a souvenir package at a Major rather than pulled from a case. The scene depicts a sand storm rolling under a night sky, painted by Valve in warm desert-brown tones. Well-Worn runs 0.38–0.45 on the float scale and shows its age plainly across the finish, which is what keeps it affordable.

What the stickers do to the price of the AUG | Sand Storm

Only a souvenir package opened during a Major produces one of these. Each package holds a skin from the tournament's collection, and it arrives carrying up to four stickers from one match — both teams, the MVP and the event — fixed on permanently. A Souvenir skin is never StatTrak™ — the two are mutually exclusive.

Where it comes from

The finish sets a floor and the stickers decide the rest. A copy out of a famous match, or one wearing a sticker from a player who has since retired, can sit several times above a plain copy at the same exterior; an unremarkable match leaves it near one.

FAQ

The Sand Storm comes from The 2021 Mirage Collection, released with Operation Riptide back in September 2021.

Can a Souvenir AUG | Sand Storm be StatTrak?

No. Souvenir and StatTrak™ are mutually exclusive — a copy is one or the other, never both, and neither can be added to a skin after it drops.

Can the stickers be removed from a Souvenir AUG | Sand Storm?

No. Souvenir stickers are part of the copy and cannot be scraped off, unlike stickers a player applies themselves. That is why two souvenir copies of one skin at the same exterior can be priced far apart.
