Trade-up ladder: this collection only
10 items of one rarity from this collection guarantee an output from the next tier up. Costs use the cheapest wear of the cheapest input; output value is the tier average.
| Input | Cost | Possible outputs | Avg output | EV?Expected value of one trade-up: the tier-average output minus the cost of 10 inputs. Wear carries over from your inputs, and collection ladders are rarely profitable at open asks. |

| 10× Industrial Grade | $17.00 | 4× Mil-Spec | $13.29 avg | -22% |
| 10× Mil-Spec | $106.80 | 3× Restricted | $67.55 avg | -37% |
