Description
Authentic Starbucks 24oz Venti-sized Cold Cup featuring a iconic 'studded' or 'grid' texture. Finished in a sleek matte black / noir aesthetic with a tonal debossed Siren logo on the front. Double-walled construction to keep drinks cold without condensation. Perfect for collectors of the 'Grid' series.
Key Features
High brand recognition; 'Goth' or minimalist aesthetic; texture provides excellent grip; highly collectible among 'Starbucks Tumbler' enthusiasts; discontinued original release style.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Look for the debossed Siren logo (crisp edges), 'Starbucks Coffee Company' engraving on the bottom with an SKU number, and the specific 'soft-touch' feel of the plastic. Red flags would be uneven stud spacing or a printed logo instead of debossed.
Flaws to Note
Missing original matching black studded straw. Potential for 'scuffs' or 'ashy' marks on the matte coating which are common with this specific finish. Needs a deep cleaning in the crevices of the studs.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Mercari and Poshmark are the best for Starbucks collectors due to ease of shipping and high search volume. eBay is also viable for a global reach.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Matte Black', 'Studded', 'Grid', 'Venti', and 'Goth'. If missing the straw, buy a generic 10.5-inch black replacement straw to increase sellability. Use a soft brush to clean dust from between the studs before photographing. Take a photo of the bottom stamp to prove authenticity.
