Tec-9 | Nuclear Threat is a Restricted pistol page with no Factory New market, a strong regular Minimal Wear premium, and a very selective Souvenir branch that only shows live in Field-Tested. Regular Minimal Wear pays $92.28, regular Field-Tested drops to $40.39, and Souvenir Field-Tested reaches $65.96, so this board is driven by top-row cleanliness first and one specific souvenir crossover second.

This is not a full five-row pistol page, and it is not a flat souvenir page either. The cleanest live regular row sits far above the rest, the lower standard ladder compresses quickly, and souvenir only matters in one exact wear. If you quote this skin properly, you separate the regular board from the single live souvenir comparison right away.
This page is live in Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred on the regular side. That gives you a meaningful wear ladder, but not a full one. The structure is still easy to read because the cleanest live row stands well above the rest of the board.
Regular ask is $128.40, $53.76, $40.38, and $40.67 from Minimal Wear through Battle-Scarred, with payout at $92.28, $40.39, $26.69, and $29.30. Souvenir is only live in Field-Tested, where ask is $105.00 and payout is $65.96. There is no live StatTrak branch on this page.
Regular Minimal Wear pays $92.28, while regular Field-Tested pays $40.39. That first drop is the defining standard-branch move on the page. If the skin is a clean regular copy, it sits in a completely different cash bracket from the rest of the regular wear ladder.
Below Minimal Wear, regular payout moves to $40.39 in Field-Tested, $26.69 in Well-Worn, and $29.30 in Battle-Scarred. The lower end is tighter than the top split, and it even shows a Battle-Scarred rebound over Well-Worn. That makes exact row matching important below the cleanest tier.
This page has a live Souvenir branch, but only in one wear row, and there is no StatTrak branch at all. That creates a very specific market shape. You are mostly pricing a regular Tec-9 board, then checking one souvenir crossover in Field-Tested instead of a full alternate ladder.
Souvenir Field-Tested pays $65.96 against $40.39 for regular Field-Tested. That is a serious premium inside the one shared row where the branch exists. If the listing is souvenir and Field-Tested, it belongs in a much stronger bracket than the standard Field-Tested copy.
Because souvenir is only live in Field-Tested, you cannot treat this as a full souvenir-led market. Minimal Wear, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred still read as regular-only pricing rows. The branch matters a lot where it exists, but it does not control the board outside that single comparison point.
The live market starts at Minimal Wear, not Factory New. That matters because the highest regular payout on the page is $92.28 in Minimal Wear, not a cleaner top row above it. The page is still premium for a pistol, but its live ceiling begins one wear step lower than usual.
The true float range runs from 0.06 to 0.80, and the base float range matches it. So the finish itself spans a broad condition range, even though the live pricing board starts at Minimal Wear. Wide float access does not always mean every wear row is active in cash terms.
This is a Restricted Tec-9 page, which helps explain why even the lower regular rows still hold meaningful payouts. Regular Battle-Scarred pays $29.30, and regular Well-Worn pays $26.69. This is not a pennies market once the top row disappears. The category still carries weight.
On Skins.Cash, the cleanest process is to identify the regular wear row first, then ask one extra question only if the skin is Field-Tested: is it souvenir or not? A souvenir Field-Tested at $65.96 is nothing like a regular Field-Tested at $40.39. That single branch check changes the quote a lot.
Regular ask drops from $128.40 in Minimal Wear to $53.76 in Field-Tested, then to roughly $40 in Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. Souvenir Field-Tested ask is $105.00. The buy side tells the same story as payout: one expensive clean regular row and one standout souvenir crossover in the middle.
There are no phases or gem families shaping this market. The practical read comes from wear placement, the missing cleanest live row, and the one live souvenir comparison. That makes the page more about execution and exact row control than about hunting special variant families.
The key markers are Restricted rarity, Tec-9 pistol model, a 0.06 to 0.80 float span, live regular pricing from Minimal Wear through Battle-Scarred, a souvenir branch only in Field-Tested, and no StatTrak branch. That combination naturally produces a lopsided but readable market.
This page suits traders who are comfortable pricing around one important exception instead of a full alternate ladder. Most of the board is simple regular wear logic. The edge comes from remembering that Field-Tested souvenir is not a side note here. It is a different value tier.
