What makes a copy Souvenir

The Souvenir PP-Bizon | Brass (Factory New, FN) is the Souvenir copy of this skin — the same Mil-Spec Grade finish, handed out in a souvenir package at a Major rather than pulled from a case. Brass takes a straightforward approach — sections of the weapon are swapped for brass plating, giving it a classic, metallic look rather than a painted graphic. Factory New is the cleanest grade this skin comes in and the one buyers pay the most for, covering the 0.00–0.07 band of the float scale.

What the stickers do to the price of the PP-Bizon | Brass

Souvenir packages drop to viewers and attendees during a Major, each holding a skin from that tournament's collection. A souvenir copy carries up to four stickers from the match it came out of — the two teams, that match's MVP and the event itself — applied for good. A Souvenir skin is never StatTrak™ — the two are mutually exclusive.

Where it comes from

On a souvenir copy the stickers usually matter more than the finish. A package from a famous match, or one carrying a retired star player's sticker, can be worth many times an ordinary copy at the same exterior, while one from a forgotten group-stage match trades close to the plain version.

FAQ

Brass is part of The Dust 2 Collection, which arrived with the "Out with the old, in with the new" update in November 2013.

Can a Souvenir PP-Bizon | Brass 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 PP-Bizon | Brass?

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.
