Souvenir MP9 | Pandora's Box (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This MP9 finish is built around a field of cartoon spirits on glossy anodized blue, with lighter blue highlights running along the body. In Minimal Wear the scene looks practically intact: the ghosts, their eyes and the blue gradients are all in place. It is the grade for buyers who want the clean look of the skin without paying for a perfect copy.

Item type: smg. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Anodized Airbrushed: a coloured coating with an airbrushed design on top; the coating holds while the design fades with wear.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New and Field-Tested.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The receiver, barrel shroud and both ribbed grips are anodized in a deep metallic blue with lighter blue sheen on curved surfaces. Over this base the airbrushed pattern places pale grey and white cartoon spirits with dark eyes, mixed with darker navy shapes and swirls that fill the whole painted area.

Tiny scuffs may appear on the sharpest edges of the receiver and on the tips of the grip ribs, visible mostly in inspect. The ghosts and the blue gradients remain fully intact. At normal distance in game it is practically indistinguishable from Factory New.

Minimal Wear quality — float range 0.07–0.15

The float of Souvenir MP9 | Pandora's Box ranges from 0 to 0.3; the Minimal Wear quality covers 0.07–0.15 — 27% of this skin’s scale. Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Where the skin comes from: collection and case

Souvenir MP9 | Pandora's Box belongs to The Gods and Monsters Collection, which holds 14 skins. It does not drop from a case: the collection has none — such skins come from operation drops, souvenir packages or the market.

Souvenir version

This is the Souvenir version: such copies dropped to tournament viewers in souvenir packages; the team stickers and signatures on them cannot be removed or chosen. Souvenir items never carry StatTrak™. There is also the regular version without tournament stickers.

Stickers and crafts

White, silver and pale blue stickers blend with the ghost pattern and keep the look calm. Holo or foil stickers in cool tones suit the metallic sheen, while a single warm accent such as orange can work as a contrast on the receiver.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the grade, since low Field-Tested copies look close to Minimal Wear.
• Inspect the top edge of the receiver and the grip ribs, as these lose the blue coat first.
• Souvenir copies come with fixed stickers, so make sure they fit the look you want.
• Look at any applied stickers and name tag, as they change how the blue body reads.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a clean-looking MP9 without paying extra for Factory New.
• Sticker crafters, since minor scuffs do not show behind applied stickers.
• A balanced option between appearance and cost.
