Sticker | ANNIHILATION | Rio 2022 is a Paper finish autograph tied to IEM Rio 2022 and issued as part of the Rio 2022 Contenders Autograph Capsule. It is an on-card player signature rather than a team or community decal, presented in the base film for the set.
This release is Paper, the base film in the finish ladder; finer films in a set sit above it. Paper reads flat compared with the reflective or specialty films collectors prize, but it is the reference level that all premium finishes are measured against.
The sticker sits in the budget band for its cohort, so it is a practical pick for builders and traders balancing spend against look. That placement makes it an approachable way to own an autograph without stretching into premium finish territory.
The autograph belongs to ANNIHILATION and carries the IHC Esports affiliation printed on the sticker, tying the piece directly to that player and team. Full provenance is present on the stock, which is what collectors care about when assessing an autograph's authenticity and lineage.
This sticker was released from the Rio 2022 Contenders Autograph Capsule, which groups it with other autographs from the IEM Rio 2022 window. Capsule origin matters for set context and for tracking which companions and print runs are available to collectors.
Once applied to a weapon a sticker can be scraped thinner through normal use and is destroyed if removed; crafting a sticker onto an item consumes another copy from your inventory. Clean, unapplied stock is finite and every craft reduces that supply.
The sticker carries the High Grade designation, placing it above common grades but below the top-tier collectible bands. That grade underpins how the market treats it relative to lower and higher grade stickers from the same set.
Paper autographs are straightforward for crafting: they sit cleanly on most finishes and let the signature read without competing reflections. Collectors will pick placement where the autograph aligns with a weapon's lines so the player name stays legible, and demand for good-looking crafts feeds secondary desirability.
This is an IEM Rio 2022 release from the October 2022 window, part of the wave of contender autograph capsules that accompanied that tournament. It belongs to the modern era of event-linked autographs rather than the much older fixed-print runs, which shapes how collectors group it by set and release.
