Seen the AK Hydroponic come up a lot in collector discussions but never actually owned one. Is it genuinely that special or is it mostly just reputation at this point? Worth tracking one down?

The design holds up way better than a lot of skins from that era and the history behind it makes it different from just a regular rare skin

The design is genuinely***d and the history adds something that newer skins just do not have. A lot of collector skins are expensive mainly because they are rare but the Hydroponic has both the rarity and the visual quality, which is harder to find. Came acrosshttps://bleedingfool.com/gaming/why-the-ak-hydroponic-is-a-legendary-collectors-item/ a while back and it explains well why this one has stayed relevant in collector circles. If you find one at a fair price it is worth it
