2018 Nuke and 2018 Inferno collections
These are the strongest removals. Weekly Care Package supply is cut off, so remaining skins and trade-up inputs now depend on existing float and seller inventory.
The play
Do not market-buy into the first repricing. Bid on liquid, desirable skins after volume cools or listings rebuild. Size medium; these can stay volatile for days.

Dust 2 Collection skins
Dust 2 also lost weekly-drop supply. It has broad name recognition, so casual demand may react faster than Safehouse.
The play
Target clean, liquid listings only after the initial gap. Avoid overpaying for random low-demand fillers unless they are clearly trade-up inputs.
