M4A4 | Howl · Factory New
The iBuyPower Holo Cobblestone 2014 sticker became one of the most coveted CS2 stickers after the team was banned from Valve-sponsored events for match-fixing in early 2015. Production stopped immediately. The Howl skin itself was reclassified as Contraband in March 2015 — no new Howls have entered the game since. Combining the only Contraband rifle with banned-team holos creates the most expensive M4A4 craft in CS2.
This craft is the holy grail of CS2 collecting — both the base skin and the stickers are permanently discontinued. The famous "Howl + iBuyPower Holo Cobblestone" sale by zipeL in 2024 for over $300,000 set the record for the most expensive non-Dragon-Lore CS:GO/CS2 craft ever documented. Floats below 0.02 with crisp Cobblestone-major holos are six-figure trades.
