Sticker | ANNIHILATION (Holo) | Paris 2023

This is the Holo autograph of ANNIHILATION for The MongolZ issued in the BLAST.tv Paris 2023 set, sold through the Paris 2023 Contenders Autograph Capsule. It is an autograph sticker, signed by the player and released as part of Valve's designer lineup for the event.

Holo sits above the base paper film in the standard finish ladder for CS stickers: paper at the base, Holo as the premium optical upgrade, then foil and gold toward the top tiers. Treat Holo as the visible step above paper for this Paris 2023 run - it's the finish collectors reach for when they want more pop than the paper version.

Collectors go after this Holo because it gives the signature extra sheen and presence compared with the paper autograph. The Holo film elevates contrast and makes the autograph catch light on weapons, which is exactly why Holo autographs from a tight capsule command attention from crafters and collectors alike.

The sticker bears the autograph of ANNIHILATION and ties directly to his role with The MongolZ, so provenance is clean and explicit for collectors who track player-signed pieces. That direct player link is the core of an autograph sticker's identity: the signature anchors the design to ANNIHILATION and his team.

This came from the Paris 2023 Contenders Autograph Capsule, so it sits among the autograph siblings distributed in that capsule. Being from that capsule signals the sticker's immediate set context - collectors will compare it against other autographs released alongside it in the Paris 2023 drop.

Once you apply this sticker to a weapon it can be scraped to reduce its visibility and condition, and attempting to remove it destroys the sticker outright. Every craft that uses an applied copy consumes a physical sticker from supply, so only unopened, clean stock preserves copies for future collectors.

The sticker carries an Exotic rarity grade and sits at the higher end of the rarity ladder for stickers in this release. That Exotic designation underpins how scarce clean examples are relative to common paper runouts from the same capsule.

This Holo autograph is attractive for crafting on display weapons because the finish boosts signature visibility under different light angles. Collectors who craft will aim for clean placement where the Holo sheen complements the weapon finish, since that visual pairing is often what drives demand among crafters.

As part of the BLAST.tv Paris 2023 release, this sticker belongs to the Paris 2023 chapter in the sticker timeline and reflects Valve's autograph program for that event. Its standing is defined by that release and designer attribution, so it's best viewed alongside other Paris 2023 autograph pieces when assessing its place in collections.
