Sticker | allu (Gold) | Cluj-Napoca 2015

This is the Gold autograph variant of the allu sticker from the Cluj-Napoca 2015 set, carrying the player's signature and the Ninjas in Pyjamas team association. It is a designer-issued Valve autograph, not a team or community paint, and it represents the premium signed offering from that capsule.

Gold sits at the top of the finish ladder for its set, above paper, holo, foil, and glitter variants in terms of finish hierarchy. Treat Gold as the summit film for collectors who grade finishes by rarity and visual distinction rather than by nominal labels.

Collectors prize the Gold film because it elevates the autograph beyond the base design; the finish_rank here places it at the very top of the collectible ladder for this sticker. That same top-tier finish creates a different market behaviour than the paper or holo copies of the same signature.

The sticker carries allu's autograph and is linked explicitly to Ninjas in Pyjamas, so provenance is full and visible right on the piece. That direct player-team tie is the primary provenance signal collectors look for with autographs.

This sticker is part of the 2015 DreamHack Cluj-Napoca set and bears the event provenance in its name. Event provenance anchors a sticker to a specific release and helps collectors track editions inside a long-running sticker ecosystem.

Gold autographs like this leave their capsule through initial drops and later circulation, but every Gold copy is a fixed print that only comes from the original Cluj-Napoca 2015 distribution. Over time supply is shaped by how many units were issued and how many remain unaltered in collectors' hands.

When you apply a sticker to a weapon it can be scraped thinner with each scrape and is destroyed if removed; every craft that uses a sticker burns a copy. Clean, unapplied stock is finite and only decreases as stickers are used or consumed in crafting.

The sticker is listed at a high rarity tier, placing it near the upper end of the sticker grade scale for collectors. That high grade underpins collector expectations about supply and the types of owners who chase these copies.

Gold autographs are often chosen for premium crafts because the finish reads well on showcase weapons and the signature gives a narrative punch to a skin. Collectors will place this sticker on focal surfaces where the Gold film and the autograph remain visually dominant.

As part of the Cluj-Napoca 2015 release, this piece falls into a mid-era of stamped Valve releases and reflects the autograph-focused capsules from that run. Its release context shapes how long-term collectors view it relative to later or earlier autograph offerings.
