The CS:GO Pin Series 1 physical grab bag, available to event attendees & via WeLoveFine.
Collectible Pins are physical & virtual collectible items available in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
Overview[]
Collectible Pins were added on February 26th, 2015 & available exclusively at Valve-sponsored events such as ESL One, DreamHack, or Valve-sponsored Major tournaments. Attendees of such events can purchase a physical collectible pin package.[1] The physical package contains a random pin of varying rarity much like actual cases. The package also contains the redemption code redeemable for a virtual pin capable of being displayed on the in-game profile much like coins. On May 31st, 2016, players were first able to purchase Series 1 pins in-game, but these pin variants were not genuine. Players could also purchase physical pins at this time from WeLoveFine, which contained a code for genuine collectible pins. The Half-Life Alyx pin series did not come with any physical pins except for the Lambda Pin, Civil Protection (Helmet) Pin, and CMB Pin, none of which came with codes. The Genuine Alyx Pin was awarded along with the Anti-Citizen Music Kit by pre-ordering Half-Life Alyx, the Valve Index system, or Valve Knuckles controllers on Steam.

Trivia[]
- Pins include references to different parts of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. This includes (but is not limited to) maps, operations, skins and stickers. The Tactics Pin for example, shares art work with the CS:GO Weapon Case.
- Beyond genuine pins obtained from redeeming codes included with physical pins, the Genuine P250 | X-Ray is the only other in-game item obtainable in genuine quality.
- During the ESL One Katowice 2015 tournament, noted caster Anders Blume was seen wearing all of the CS:GO pins, and remarked, "It has become an addiction at this point." [2]
