The Cobblestone Collection

All collections

The Cobblestone Collection released on 1 July 2014 with the Operation Breakout update, and it is the most valuable collection in Counter-Strike. It is themed around the medieval, castle-inspired Cobblestone map and is home to the AWP Dragon Lore, the most famous skin in the game. Cobblestone was later removed from the map pool, so no new skins drop and the supply is fixed forever.

Skins by rarity

Every skin here is Souvenir only, from Consumer up to Covert.

The rare item: AWP Dragon Lore

The Dragon Lore is a gold dragon engraved along the rifle, and it is the most valuable weapon skin in CS. It only ever came from Cobblestone souvenir packages at Majors, and because the map left the pool, no new copies are created. A Factory New copy sells for tens of thousands, and a Souvenir with the right tournament stickers has traded far higher.

"You do not open a Cobblestone souvenir for the odds. You hold it because they stopped making them, and because it might be hiding a Dragon Lore."

Where the skins come from

Cobblestone skins dropped only as Souvenir items during Majors played on the map, across ten souvenir packages from Cologne, Katowice, DreamHack, Columbus, Atlanta, Krakow and Boston. The one available on the site is the ESL One Cologne 2014 Cobblestone Souvenir Package, which can itself drop a Souvenir Dragon Lore.

Trade-up contracts

Since the May 2026 update, Souvenir skins can be used in trade-up contracts. Ten souvenir skins of the right rarity from Cobblestone can be traded up toward the next tier, and at the top of the chain the output can be an AWP Dragon Lore. The catch is real: the inputs are themselves expensive Cobblestone skins, and the Dragon Lore is one of the rarest outcomes in any trade-up. The expected value is negative. It is a genuine path, not a shortcut.

As a collector item

Cobblestone is the textbook discontinued collection. The map is gone, the supply is frozen, and prices have climbed for years. The community treats these as buy-and-hold, not open-and-gamble: opening a souvenir package to chase the Dragon Lore is the fastest way to lose money, while holding the package or the skin has been the winning move. The one risk collectors debate is whether Valve ever re-adds Cobblestone, which most doubt precisely because it would undercut the Dragon Lore.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Cobblestone Collection?

A Souvenir-only collection themed around the medieval Cobblestone map, released in 2014. It is home to the AWP Dragon Lore and is the most valuable collection in CS.

Why is the AWP Dragon Lore so expensive?

It only dropped from Cobblestone souvenir packages at Majors, and since the map left the pool no new copies are made. A Factory New copy sells for tens of thousands.

Can you still get Cobblestone Collection drops?

No. The map was removed from the pool, so no new drops or souvenir packages are produced. The skins are only available on the market.

Is the Cobblestone Collection coming back?

Almost certainly not. Re-adding it would undercut the Dragon Lore, which is a big reason the community expects Valve to leave it retired.

Can you trade up to a Dragon Lore?

Since 2026 you can use souvenir skins in trade-ups, so a Dragon Lore is a possible output at the top of the Cobblestone chain. It is expensive and rare, with negative expected value.

Is the Cobblestone Collection a good investment?

As a fully discontinued collection with fixed supply it has one of the strongest track records in CS. Buy to hold, never to open.
