As Stage 1 of the IEM Cologne Major 2026 got underway on June 2, Valve officially opened the Cologne 2026 Major Shop. Instead of randomized capsules, fans buy sticker tokens and then spend them on the exact items they want.
What's Available
The Cologne 2026 sticker set covers all 32 competing teams and offers four variants per sticker:
- Regular team logos and player autographs
- Holo — with an extra holographic film
- Foil — glittery finish
- Gold — the rarest tier
Early Market Prices
Prices swing dynamically. Some notable early figures on third-party markets:
- Vitality (Holo) | Cologne 2026 — around $19-25
- Vitality (Gold) | Cologne 2026 — around $180
- Falcons (Gold) | Cologne 2026 — $243-288
- Star-player autographs like donk (Holo) reportedly touched $1,000+ in the first hours of trading
How Tokens Are Earned
Players can buy tokens directly or earn them by watching official broadcasts on Twitch and Steam. The pass system also gives out drops for supporting favored teams in Pick'Em.
Community Reaction
Reactions online have been split. Long-time capsule buyers miss the thrill of a lucky pull, while cost-conscious fans appreciate being able to buy the specific autograph they want without gambling. Traders and market speculators are cautiously observing whether the fixed-supply model favors long-term value or triggers a wave of cheap floods.
Souvenir Skins Return
Souvenir Cologne 2026 versions of Anubis, Dust2, Inferno, Mirage, Nuke, and Overpass are dropping to viewers of live matches, tied to individual game rounds as usual.
