m__i__n__t__ Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I've recently been made aware of the fact that there are many possible collector's items that aren't in the game yet. What do I mean by this? I mean that on the official tf2 wiki, there are possible collector's items that haven't been crafted yet with a chemistry set. The chemistry sets exist, but they haven't been crafted. How did you find this out? I found this out while searching for my dream cosmetics, which happens to include some collector's items. The one part I'm missing? A Collector's Soldier's Stogie Why should anyone care? They are a part of Team Fortress 2's massive item collection as well as history as a game. For trader's alike, some of the most valuable items in existence are weird glitched items (ie. vintage scrap metal). I have searched all of backpack.tf as well as several other trading websites for the chemistry set to the Soldier's Stogie, and happened to learn that there are an extremely small amount of chemistry sets for cosmetics. The chemistry sets no longer drop. With those two facts in mind, the chances of getting one of these uncrafted chemistry sets is even lower when you add other factors. What other factors? Their account can't have been banned, otherwise all of their items are permanently locked into their inventory (as far as I'm aware). Their account can't have been hacked, otherwise they won't have access to the account to accept any trades. They have to still be active, otherwise they can't respond to any trades. They have to be willing to sell the item, if they don't want to sell it, there's nothing you can do about it. All in all, finding some of these more uncommon items has been an interesting adventure, and I hope you learned something from this post as well! If anyone does happen to find where the chemistry set for the Soldier's Stogie is, please let me know. -Mint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeg Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 You can use tf2 tools to find collectors chemistry sets, http://www.tf2tools.net/utilities/collectorcosmetics Scroll over the one you're after and copy the original id into a backpack.tf item history link, like this: https://backpack.tf/item/2477103112 Currently owned by a collector, but you might as well try. Hope that's what you were looking for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not "many", most of them that can be crafted already have and the majority of the ones that haven't are in inactive or trade banned accounts and have been for years 2. the TF2 Wiki is outdated and isn't a good resource for Collector's quality, use TF2Tools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
