Sticker | cadiaN (Gold) | Rio 2022

This is the Gold autograph of cadiaN for IEM Rio 2022, issued as an Autograph sticker in the Rio 2022 Legends Autograph Capsule. It carries the player signature rather than a team or community motif and is the Gold-film variant of that autograph design.

Gold sits at the top of the finish ladder for this set, above Paper, Holo and Foil variants. As the premium film offered for the Rio 2022 autograph run, Gold is the most visually and collectibly elevated option in the capsule's hierarchy.

Collectors chase Gold here because it materially separates the autograph from the base film: the signature reads with more presence and the stock itself marks it as the elite film for the lineup. Given the finish_rank as top, Gold copies draw attention precisely because they sit above the standard and reflective tiers.

This sticker sits in a mid price bracket relative to the whole market profile, which means it trades above budget pieces but stops short of the very top grails. For a collector that wants a standout autograph without moving into the extreme end of the market, it occupies a practical middle ground.

The sticker carries cadiaN's autograph and it is tied to his time with HEROIC. That full provenance-player plus team-is baked into the sticker and is a key reason collectors value this specific autograph.

The sticker is tied to IEM Rio 2022. Event provenance matters because the sticker is part of the tournament's release run and that connection defines the design, the capsule pairing, and its place in collector sets.

Released in the Rio 2022 Legends Autograph Capsule, this sticker belongs to the autograph set issued under that capsule name. Being from a dedicated autograph capsule groups it with the other signed pieces from the same release and determines which sibling signatures share its film ladder.

Applied to a weapon, a sticker can be scraped down through its layers and will be destroyed if removed; crafting a weapon consumes a copy. Clean, unapplied stock is finite and every application or craft reduces that available clean inventory.

This piece is graded Extraordinary, which places it at the upper end of sticker grades. That rarity underpins its collectibility and is consistent with the Gold finish and autograph provenance.

Gold autographs like this are frequently chosen for premium craft slots because the film and signature hold up visually on high-gloss or darker skins. Collectors pay attention to how the autograph reads on a chosen canvas-the film, scale and placement all influence demand for craft builds.

This sticker is part of the IEM Rio 2022 wave of releases and aligns with the October era when that capsule circulated. As a later-era tournament autograph, it sits within the continued run of event-linked autograph drops rather than the earliest collectible sticker runs.
