Quick answer
Search the exact weapon and finish name, not only the finish word.
Container and collection records should be read as structured relationships. This prevents a visual similarity, old forum post or copied market listing from becoming an unsupported drop-pool claim. A repeatable database workflow using the skin-to-case relationship.
Search the exact weapon and finish name, not only the finish word.
Wear variants normally point back to the same underlying finish record.
A skin may be associated with more than one container or souvenir context.
Verify the result against structured game-data sources before publishing.
How to read the data
Begin with the exact record involved: item name, variant, source and observation date. Then separate a factual game-data field from an estimate, community convention or market inference. This sequence keeps a helpful shorthand from becoming a false claim.

Common mistakes
Treat a listing as a sale
Asking prices can be stale, manipulated or far from executable demand.
Hide model assumptions
Fees, odds and freshness windows must stay visible and editable.
Match the exact variant
Wear, pattern, StatTrak, Souvenir and event identity can change the record.
Keep an unavailable state
Missing evidence should remain missing instead of becoming fabricated data.
