The Lake Collection released in November 2013, one of the earliest map-based souvenir pools. It is a cheap, nostalgic set topped by the Dual Berettas Cobalt Quartz, with the AWP Safari Mesh among its finishes.
Almost everything here is worth pennies, except the Souvenir copies from the very first Majors.

The original Lake map collection, available in normal and Souvenir form, topped by a Restricted Dual Berettas.
The Cobalt Quartz uses metallic paint with a crystallising mask to create a fractured, quartz-like pattern in cobalt blue, the same technique as the Desert Eagle Meteorite. In plain form it is worth pennies, but its value comes from provenance: it dropped only from the DreamHack 2013 and EMS One Katowice 2014 packages, among the first Souvenir distributions in CS, so early Souvenir copies carry real historical weight.
"Everyone wants to make an impact. The Lake collection is cheap, but a DreamHack 2013 Souvenir is first-generation history."
The Lake Collection dropped as normal skins from the early map pool and as Souvenir items from the DreamHack 2013 Souvenir Package and the EMS One Katowice 2014 package. Compare live prices on our markets page.
Ten same-rarity skins from this collection can be traded up toward the tier above, and since the May 2026 update Souvenir skins can be used in trade-ups too. As a map collection there is no knife or glove craft, and the expected value is negative.
Lake is a nostalgia collection more than an investment. The plain skins are worth pennies, but Souvenir copies from the earliest Majors, especially DreamHack 2013, are scarce first-generation collector pieces. Value here is about provenance, not the finish.
