3. ✨ Appeal and Market Outlook of New Glove Collections
· The least affected old gloves saw a drop of 12-14%, while the most affected dropped by 30-37%.
· The new glove collection is incredibly beautiful with excellent patterns, currently considered the best glove collection in the game.
· Personally, I highly recommend Tier 1 gloves such as Ultraviolent, Cloud Chaser, Pilos Puncher (best white), Violet Bedouin (fifth most expensive), Lame Polycam (more beautiful green than Hedge Maze), and Blackbook.
· Tier 2 gloves include Biguell, Garden, Frosty, Brocade Flowers, and Wave Chaser, all of which also feature very beautiful designs.
· While the new gloves don't yet hold the same value as OG gloves, they have the potential to catch up over time, provided Valve doesn't flood the market with too many gloves.
