Collectable Pins are physical and virtual collectible items available in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
Overview
Collectable Pins were added as part of the February 26, 2015 update and are available to purchase at Valve-sponsored competitions such as ESL One or DreamHack tournaments or Valve-sponsored promotional events. Attendees of such events can purchase a physical collectible pin package.[1] Much like Global Offensive weapon cases, the package contains a single randomly selected pin. The package also contains a redemption code redeemable for a virtual pin capable of being displayed on the user's in-game profile much like coins. The virtual pins appear embossed to mimic their real-life counterparts.
After the May 31, 2016 update, players could purchase the Collectible Pin Series 1 Capsule when it was offered in-game. Players could also attain pins by purchasing the real counter-parts from WeLoveFine.com , which gives you a unique Steam key to activate. This allowed players to attain Genuine collectible pins.
After the December 19, 2017 update, the 3rd series of the collectable pins were added.
