I have been saving up for a really high-end AK skin but I am torn between a few different options. I want something that looks amazing but also feels like a good investment for the future. What are the most iconic or rare skins for the assault rifle that actually hold their price? Do you think it is worth paying a premium for the super old skins or are the newer ones catching up in terms of prestige?

If you are looking for the absolute top tier, you should definitely browse through the most expensive AK skins list to see what is currently at the peak of the market. I saved up for an Alien Red a while ago and I never regretted it because the iron sights are just so much better. Some of the older skins have that "OG" status that makes them very easy to trade later if you get bored. However, some newer ones have insane detail that the old ones just can't match. My advice is to pick something that you actually enjoy looking at every day rather than just looking at the price tag. That blog post will give you a good idea of what the "flex" items are right now.
