What makes a copy Souvenir

The Souvenir Tec-9 | Toxic (Well-Worn, WW) 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. At its core the finish is one loud idea — a garish hydrographic drenched in nuclear-styled skulls and bones, built to grab attention rather than blend in. 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 Tec-9 | Toxic

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

Part of The Cache Collection since the Jul 2014 update, the Toxic doesn't have its own weapon case behind it — it comes from the Cache map's drop pool, trading, or crafting.

Can a Souvenir Tec-9 | Toxic 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 | Toxic?

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.
