We're matching Souvenir Dragon Lore numbers now? :D Welcome Groop!

I have a revised announcement to make: A new tool has revealed a significant number of new elite collectors. The total global population jumped from 99 to 115 today, which means there is still less elite collectors than Souvenir Dragon Lores known (116). I have reached out to these accounts and will try to invite them. As well, the total amount of collectors that also have the Alyx pin jumped from 43 to 50.

Thank you all!

awesome! glad to see more people joining still, welcome AC

Oh I know him, welcome AC!

ACDawg is our newest member. We are almost at 100 known users with all S1, S2, S3 genuine pins.

Happy New Years! I'll be at Flom's tournament this weekend. I know nothing is probably gonna happen but if anything does I'll let ya'll know.

Happy new year guys.

Happy new year :)

wb boss :)

Checking in with the crew! Back to the game after a long break. Hope everyone is well

This fake pin post got me good, ngl https://x.com/i/status/2000215174423212276

yeah no more green is annoying. now people will think i'm poor.

Yea I couldnt care less, I just wanted them in-game and that it says genuine on them

Interesting, I did not expect that from you guys.

i care a lot its stupid that its been changed, the whole difference is the green border

I will admit that I do get extra satisfaction seeing the green border on my Genuines since I don't see it on other profiles.

Plebs not knowing the difference has always been the case though, that's why it's an elite club for connoisseurs. Genuine Pins never provided bragging rights to the unwashed masses, unlike expensive skins. :-)

me too, I feel like all the new people don't even know genuines anymore

i do care a little

I don't think collectors really care though.

did the same for souvenir collectors too.

New rarity color update on Steam killed our green borders 🥀

yh i saw that the otehr day, quite cool tbh

They were like 20 at Boston. But at the end of the tournament I think my sign about pins made it on the screen behind the caster's desk.

its not about profitability, they could sell them for $10 a pop at the major and they would sell out. its just one of those things where there isnt a designated merch team at valve for cs. perfect world major had insane merch, in fact perfect world do loads of merch nto just for the major. it is just a case of valve being innefficient and lazy.

Haha yea I reached out to the HLTV guy to ask if they could include it in their claw game!

My friend got one of those chicken knife pins at hltv.

Honestly they could just sell to order on their site if transportation is an issue, they already ship merch anyways. Better than nothing

Yeah.. We will never know without a new release sadly, they really hate giving concrete answers lol. My friend (creator of AK inheritance) made his own CS pin cuz we were bored with lack of CS merch, got quite a few I plan to give away soon if any of guys want one!

(Not same thing as official but still :p) https://imgur.com/a/cWjEN8q

I'm definitely getting people asking about pins in person in the arena. I have a extras I'm wearing on my hat. People want them. If only VALVe would answer.

Valve dont really care unfortunately. It's just not a priority so no one is doing it. Probably better for this group though cos the number of people that would buy S4 from this group is probably less than half

He's gonna dump them all off his yacht and leave cryptic notes on how to find them

I really figured it would be this if they didn't do Paris. It's in the US, they just need to drive it to ship it to Austin rather than paying for air shipping.

Re-organizing the logistics from what was once a familiar process will likely take the team forever unfortunately. I still see it happening, just not soon. Valve Time does tick, even if it's slow.

they never making them because WElovefine got closed down

Like a week ago lmao

Valve is strange, they made prototype train collection keys. Gave me one, then took it away 2 hours later.

Why make them something if they don't plan on using it lol

lmao if not this major it's never happening

Anyone happen to have an E League Boston major pin?

Yeah, it's about time! And on home turf too for valve..

Praying for new series in Austin, I'm gonna buy as many boxes as they let me.

Welcome!

We just got another new member. Welcome, kurp.

<3

boodee is now our newest member

Maybe I'll actually go since I live in Austin... :O

Still mad they weren't at Paris for the last major I attended.

Too bad it's so pricey for Europeans, always wanted to visit Austin.

Maybe if I get a lucky year

I'll be at Austin for the major, fingers crossed we get series 4 then.
