In early August 2025, the price of the Evil Geniuses (Holo) Stockholm 2021 sticker skyrocketed – by a staggering 1,500 percent – rising from around $1.50–2 in June to about $34 by August 2–3. Other stickers from the same event also appreciated notably, but only by around 200 percent on average. Market analysts, including trader TDM_Heyzeus, have suggested possible market manipulation, given how unusual this demand surge was compared to the rest of the Stockholm collection.
Why EG Holo’s Rise Was So Dramatic
- Supply Constraints
Stockholm 2021 stickers were only available briefly, and Evil Geniuses’ 2024 departure from CS2 may fuel concerns about future scarcity. - Collectible Momentum
Upcoming CS2 updates or attention from traders and influencers can rapidly amplify speculative interest, pushing certain items far above their intrinsic value. - Market Dynamics
With a surge in concentrated demand, EG Holo rose onto Steam Market’s “Popular” tab, creating a snowball effect of visibility and hype.
In Context: Other Notable Stockholm 2021 Holo Stickers
While EG’s holo stole the spotlight, other stickers from the event remain highly sought after:
- Copenhagen Flames (Holo) – Popular for its striking holo effect that shifts from orange to deep blue.
- FURIA (Holo) – Known for its golden shimmer and strong visual appeal at a more accessible price.
- MOUZ (Holo) – Considered a premium low-supply holo compared to later versions.
- Others such as G2, FaZe, Ninjas in Pyjamas, and Virtus.pro holos continue to be collected, though none have matched the explosive surge of EG’s.
Is It Hype or Investment?
The CS2 sticker market is notoriously volatile. For some, Stockholm 2021 holos are simply well-designed collectibles that represent a unique moment in Counter-Strike history. For others, they’ve become an avenue for speculation, where sharp spikes like EG Holo’s can create either huge profits or painful losses depending on timing.
