Question 1

Why is the AWP Dragon Lore so expensive?

Accepted Answer

Its rarity is the primary driver. It only drops from the Cobblestone Collection, which was removed from active duty in 2018. The hand-painted medieval design by artist 'Chemical Alia' is considered the best in the game. Combined with its legendary status in esports, demand consistently outstrips the fixed supply.

Question 2

What is the difference between a standard and a Souvenir Dragon Lore?

Accepted Answer

A Souvenir Dragon Lore is dropped during a Major Championship match on Cobblestone. It comes with pre-applied gold stickers from the teams and the major. These stickers cannot be removed, making each Souvenir a time capsule from a specific match. They are significantly rarer and more valuable than standard versions.

Question 3

How do I check the float value of a Dragon Lore?

Accepted Answer

You can inspect the item in-game or on a platform like CSBoard. The float value, ranging from 0.00 to 1.00, determines the skin's wear. On CSBoard, each listing displays the exact float value, and you can filter by specific float ranges to find a clean scope.

Question 4

Where can I safely buy an AWP Dragon Lore?

Accepted Answer

Use a P2P marketplace like CSBoard that facilitates direct trades between players via Steam's official trade system. This eliminates the risk of trade-locked scams. CSBoard charges zero trading fees and supports instant USDT payouts on TRC20, BEP20, Solana, and TON networks.

Question 5

Is the AWP Dragon Lore a good investment in 2026?

Accepted Answer

Historically, the Dragon Lore has shown steady appreciation, particularly for high-tier floats and Souvenir versions. The fixed supply and iconic status make it a blue-chip item in the CS skin economy. However, liquidity is lower than for liquid knives, so it's a long-term hold for most collectors.

Question 6

What is the cheapest AWP Dragon Lore I can get?

Accepted Answer

A Battle-Scarred standard AWP Dragon Lore is the most affordable entry point, typically trading between $1,000 and $1,300. A Field-Tested version with a high float (0.30+) can sometimes be found in a similar price range. Check live listings on CSBoard for current availability.
