Printed wear is part of the look of this Phoenix covert, and its float floor at 0.18 rules out the two cleanest conditions.
Wear ranges above 0.18
Every copy keeps the float it was created with, and use in matches leaves it alone. Factory New through Battle-Scarred stand for stretches of that scale, and only the stretches above this finish's floor are real. The Overlap column shows how much of each one is reachable, so hold any listing's float number up against it before you trust the label.
| Wear | Overlap | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Field-Tested | 0.18 – 0.38 | Listed wear |
| Well-Worn | 0.38 – 0.45 | Listed wear |
| Battle-Scarred | 0.45 – 1.00 | Listed wear |
A listing has to respect the 0.18 floor
The white body and orange plates carry printed wear on the muzzle and stock, so those parts look stripped from the start. That look is the artwork, and it deepens as float rises. With a window of 0.18 to 1.00, any listing that names Factory New or Minimal Wear is mistaken.
Collectors split the range on purpose. Just above 0.18 sits the clean Field-Tested, which carries a premium. Near 0.45 and beyond, the black under the white shows. High Battle-Scarred copies, nicknamed the black scope look, have buyers of their own, and they are not damaged leftovers of a Factory New that cannot exist.
In practice, check the float number on the listing and not just the wear name. Under 0.18 cannot be an Asiimov float. From 0.18 to 0.45 you pay for a tidier look, and past 0.45 you pay for the heavier style.
