EG Stockholm 2021 Stickers Price Surge by 2000%: Reasons Behind the Boom

There has been a rapid increase in the price of CS stickers in the market recently, especially the EG Stockholm 2021 stickers. The holographic Evil Geniuses sticker from that Major has skyrocketed in price by around 2000% in just a few days, reaching approximately $34 on the Steam marketplace (compared to ~$1.5–2 in June). As a result, the previously inexpensive team logo has become one of the most expensive CS2 stickers on the market.

Market experts and skin investment enthusiasts are discussing the reasons for such a sharp spike. Well-known content creator TDM_Heyzeus suggests that market manipulation might have occurred in the form of a "pump and dump" scheme—artificially heating up interest specifically in the EG CS:GO sticker to drive up its price. It is also noted that other versions of the Evil Geniuses Stockholm 2021 stickers (regular and gold) have also increased in price during this time, but not by thousands, only by hundreds of percent.
