Sealed Dead Hand Terminal
A weapon case: 17 community finishes plus a rare special slot with 22 gloves across 3 models. It has left the active drop pool and now drops only rarely, so supply is shrinking.

Is it worth opening: the math
| Tier | Odds | Avg item value | Adds to EV |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rare Special (knife / gloves) | 0.26% | $299.25 | $0.778 |
| Covert | 0.64% | $59.93 | $0.384 |
| Classified | 3.20% | $9.24 | $0.296 |
| Restricted | 15.98% | $1.12 | $0.179 |
| Mil-Spec | 79.92% | $0.179 | $0.143 |
Verdict: opening is entertainment, not value. You get back 64% of the opening cost on average, and the rare slot takes ≈ 385 openings to hit. If you want a specific skin, buying it outright is almost always cheaper.

How the Sealed Dead Hand Terminal drops and opens
Valve retired Sealed Dead Hand Terminal from the weekly rotation, leaving only the sharply reduced rare-pool drop, so what trades today is mostly circulating old supply — currently from $0.210 across 20 marketplaces. History says such cases gain value as the float of copies dries up; the drop-pool registry dates every change. Drop-pool registry →
Every opening costs a $2.49 store key on top of the case; keys stopped being tradable in 2019, so the store price is the only price. The math: $1.78 expected back against a $2.79 outlay, about 64% before selling fees. Chasing a single skin through openings loses to simply buying it — each tile above opens its price comparison.
From this page's data: 39 items priced live, the 28-day median case price moved -29.3%. All prices recompute with every data snapshot.
