My guess is that this major is over invested by everyone, however judging by the amount of capsules being opened from antwerp and stockholm even with the price of the capsules being so high could show even higher returns for paris. but that is a gamble.

[@cstrends]

Capsules will be over invested, but there aren't enough holo stickers being opened to go around. Inevitably they will all have to increase in price.

Its first time since 2020 I'll not invest in capsules. I think it's not worth it. I think that hype for Paris capsules/stickers will die with first CS2 Major.

[@cstrends]

The investment's not as safe as previous majors, but I still think it will succeed with certain items. The autographs are looking to be a good investment, but the capsules might be left in the dust if too many are bought.

I wonder how much of an effect the lower % chance of holos will have on this majors stickers. Even though the holos now are higher than before the sale, its not only people investing but also maybe people know how much rarer they are now to open.

[@cstrends]

People undervalued Antwerp holos because some are even rarer than Stockholm. So I think people realized this mistake and are correcting it.

[@casianprox310]

i will just open the capsules if stickers perform better

[@cstrends]

If stickers perform well then capsules should perform just as well since their ROI will increase. If you already have capsules just hold onto them.

[@nguy_dek]

Tbh investing in this paris capsule is a safe bet it’s may not going up much since the sale period is still continuing and the supply is much higher than demand most likely but you’re going to be profitable by small percentage than initial investment.

[@cstrends]

Absolutely, you'll make profit from Paris capsules no matter what. I don't see why they should be going down in price after they're removed.

It's up to you. If you're willing to hold onto them for the long run for profit then holding them should work out, but short term the Furia holo might be too static. Its price is so high right now that I don't think it'll go up for a while.

[@JohnSick8861]

these prices are not normal, especially since we are halfway through the sale and the prices of holo stickers are only increasing, I'm not going to invest 1000$ to buy only 300 cheaper holo stickers at 3$ each , the only option for me is to buy right now glitter stickers, we need valve to release a new case before they release CS2 so that the prices of holo stickers would fall.

[@cstrends]

I wouldn't recommend buying higher priced holos because they won't have any room to grow in price unlike the lower tier holos so you're right. But I'm not sure if glitters will be a good investment, maybe new CS2 players will want cheaper stickers and look to buy glitters.

[@cstrends]

Buy a week from now. There's too much hype around Paris due to the Fano situation that's happening. Also, waiting to buy after the sale is a risk since people could pump the stickers even more, also if CS2 goes into open beta then getting these stickers at cheaper prices will never happen.

I think that there is a lot of nice sticker in paris capsules. However they are way to expenssive and overhyped. How capsule opening can have 100% ROI? I believe that capsules are much safer investment ATM. If we will see some decline on holos price I will buy some nice holos

[@cstrends]

Many autograph holos are at a decent price right now so I'd recommend some of those. In terms of team holos, many are way too overprice like you said. Golds are a good option compared to holos right now since a lot of them are actually cheaper than holos meaning they're not getting pumped.

People don't get that the capsules are gonna be overshadowed by cs2's first major. The stickers might not be but only if the cs2 major isn't borderless. It's a gamble

[@cstrends]

That's the issue with this investment, it's got risk involved that other majors didn't have. Valve will have the opportunity to make the most money from a sticker collection ever from CS2's first major so making them borderless would be an obvious decision.

[@jordanimatedstreaming]

no major until 2024 and a borderless design gives me hope that Paris capsules will at least go above sale price by the time the next major gets here.

The gap between pgl and paris is somewhat its downfall. These stickers will not see the 10-20x we saw from Antwerp and Stockholm until we see what the Copenhagen stickers look like. People still have some doubt in their head as to what the next stickers will look like and if it's even worth paying for a sticker that's $100+ with the current state of sticker investing.

I personally have a lot of OG, Fnatic and Grayhound holos. I also have a few Sk0r holos. If I were you, I'd keep an eye on all the contender autograph stickers. The capsule listings for the contenders autograph capsule on the steam market is low and applied numbers indicate that it will be underinvested.

thanks brother what is ur opinion i unboxed some capsules i got 2 mouz holo and 1 g2 holo and 1 navi gold should i hold or make a sell ?

[@cstrends]

Hard to say right now, short-term you could take a risk free sell but looking at the data applied rates are low. Normally meaning stickers are rare but a lot of them are being hoarded by investors. Many of them won't be willing to sell especially not until cs2 which will increase the price with extra demand in the market. If your looking for profit I would hold just for the fact that they seem to be rare, especially the mouz holo and its going to get more expensive as the Stockholm versions go up in price. This is more risky but the worst I could see happening is the Paris stickers just stay at a similar current price similar to today. Just a few things to consider but the option is yours I hope this helped.

I'm sure the market will correct itself and things will start having an upward trajectory soon.

you gotta go for the long run. We will never reach kato 2014 levels because investing just didn't exist back then, and there were a lot less players. But if you hold these capsules for 10 more years, assuming CS is still around, the profit is sure because the supply will be running out. Buy a few thousand and hold for years.

[@cstrends]

I do think that if you're in it for the long run I'd invest into Stockholm. The market forum has voted that Stockholm is the 2nd best sticker collection behind Katowice 2014. If there is any collection that will get even close to Kato prices it'd be Stockholm.

[@Cavi587]

@@cstrends Yeah, I agree. I need to buy more of those soon. But it won't harm me to stock up on some Paris as well as long as they are dirt cheap.

[@cstrends]

Thank you

[@AssaSynsa]

Love your editing laughed multiple times when I should have stayed focus on the info you are providing, I also agree and disagree on this video, finding the right sticker to invest is usually hard and paris stickers are so popular that they are really really high (making the roi so good) right from the beginning where other stickers didn't used to. So or the sticker will go down and settle to a more logic price and slowly grow, or the capsules will go high pretty fast a couple months or more after the paris sale end. Anyway depending on the next sticker as you said, Paris is still one of a banger in terms of stickers and I don't see them do awful even if the futur major have incredible stickers. But afterall this is my opinion, DYOR always

[@cstrends]

Logically I'd say that the capsules should go up after the sale. CS2 should keep the holo stickers around the price they're at right now, meaning the ROI will force the capsule price to rise. Even though short-term capsules will be a good investment, long-term stickers will be more beneficial due to new players coming from CS2 wanting to make their own unique crafts. The cheaper holos are realistically the best option for an investment since new players probably won't be paying more than $5 per sticker.

[@perspectiveflip]

Do NOT buy capsules from the ingame store!!! Always buy from the community market or 3rd party websites. This way the supply will not be inflated and we will make better profits

[@cstrends]

Exactly, I think this time the community is getting the message since a lot more people are buying discounted capsules from buff now.

[@cstrends]

Same, it's getting annoying since still only 5% of players have CS2.

[@daifaiv]

Paris investment is a gamble. BUT I think holos are crazy inflated and its either the capsule that goes up or holos crash down after sale ends. I personaly believe that holos will crash down in price after the sale because current demand that is keeping the price high is mostly caused by investors, not users. After the sale 90% of investors will stop and thus the demand will decrease with stickers prices crashing. In my opinion the savest investments are the capsules as their addictive nature will cause their stock numbers to decrease. The best and savest moment to buy is now from the community market

[@cstrends]

I think the cheaper holos are a fine investment because if they go down by 50 cents they'll probably recover pretty quickly due to crafting demand. Other stickers such as Mouz however have a lot more to lose and are definitely less sustainable. Autograph stickers are also a decent price right now as the ROI for two of the capsules is now close to 60% which is where it should be. Autographs probably have the most room to grow in price after the sale.

Coppenhagen major foil and holo stickers will definitely gonna be a good a long term investment since it was the first major in CS2

[@cstrends]

I think if they're unique and look good they'll perform really well. This is because they won't be directly competing with SH, AW and Paris since they look different and they will be undersupplied since casual investors believes bordered stickers don't perform well as investments.
