What makes a copy Souvenir

The Souvenir Tec-9 | Remote Control (Minimal Wear, MW) is the Souvenir copy of this skin — the same Classified finish, handed out in a souvenir package at a Major rather than pulled from a case. Colorful dials and switches are hand painted across the blue body, creating a gadget-panel look built from small, distinct details rather than one big graphic. Minimal Wear covers 0.07–0.15 on the float scale, a step below Factory New, with wear that stays hard to spot at a glance.

What the stickers do to the price of the Tec-9 | Remote Control

These copies come out of souvenir packages handed to people watching a Major, not out of a case. Each one arrives wearing up to four stickers from the match that produced it: both teams, the MVP and the tournament, fixed in place from the moment it drops. A Souvenir skin is never StatTrak™ — the two are mutually exclusive.

Where it comes from

Price here is mostly a sticker question. Two souvenir copies of the same skin at the same exterior can sit far apart because one came from a memorable match and the other did not — check the stickers on a listing before comparing figures.

FAQ

Remote Control belongs to The 2018 Nuke Collection, launched in September 2018 through the FACEIT 2018 update.

Can a Souvenir Tec-9 | Remote Control 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 Tec-9 | Remote Control?

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.
