Sticker | Aleksib (Holo) | Paris 2023

This is the Holo autograph for Aleksib representing Ninjas in Pyjamas from the BLAST.tv Paris 2023 set, released through the Paris 2023 Challengers Autograph Capsule. It is an Exotic-tier autograph rather than a team or community paper, and it carries the designer credit from Valve.

The sticker wears the Holo film, which sits above the base paper layer in the usual finish ladder and below the rarer Gold or specialty films. Within a capsule lineup, Holo sits in the premium band of finishes and is the step collectors look for when skipping the paper base.

Collectors prize the Holo here because it visually amplifies Aleksib's signature compared with the paper release, giving the autograph more presence on a weapon. That added pop is why Holo copies trade distinctly above paper examples, even when the overall price tier for the sticker group is modest.

The autograph is Aleksib's and it binds the sticker to his stint with Ninjas in Pyjamas; full provenance on this run means the signature is factory-applied. Provenance matters to collectors, and a full provenance autograph is the cleanest claim you can get on this design.

This piece comes from the Paris 2023 Challengers Autograph Capsule, so it sits alongside the other autographs from BLAST.tv Paris 2023. Being capsule-originated ties it to that specific release funnel and to the sibling autographs that shared the same drops.

Applied to a weapon the sticker can be scraped thinner with each scrape and will be destroyed if removed, and every craft or inspection that uses a sticker burns one copy from clean stock. That mechanic is one-way, so the available pool of untouched stickers only ever shrinks as people craft and use them.

This sticker is listed in the high tier of rarity for sticker grades, placing it well above common and standard grades in the set but below any contraband-tier or designer-exclusive pieces. That rarity grade underpins the collectible appeal and influences demand relative to other stickers in the capsule.

Holo autographs like this are commonly used in crafts because the film lifts the autograph visually on popular skins; collectors target clean, unapplied copies for high-end crafts. Placement matters too: centered, signature-forward crafts keep the Holo effects visible and drive the kind of demand that feeds back into desirability.

This is a Paris 2023-era autograph from the BLAST.tv Paris 2023 release cycle, so it belongs to the mid-modern wave of event autograph capsules designed by Valve. Its place in that run shapes how collectors compare it against earlier and later autograph capsule offerings.
