Sticker | dAT team (Foil) | Cologne 2014

This is a Foil team sticker for dAT team taken from the 2014 ESL One Cologne set and produced by Valve. It is a non-autograph team emblem issued as part of that standalone capsule and carries the Exotic rarity classification noted on the card.

Foil sits above the base paper film in the finish ladder for this set but below the most deluxe films used across other releases. Think of Foil as a premium presentation that sits between the everyday paper stock and the ultra-rare top-tier finishes collectors chase.

Collectors prize the Foil version over its paper twin because the film adds reflectivity and presence on a weapon, lifting the same artwork into a different visual class. With a premium finish rank and Exotic rarity, this particular Foil naturally draws attention from finish-focused collectors who want a cleaner, flashier team mark.

This sticker belongs to the 2014 ESL One Cologne set and carries that event provenance prominently in its name. Event provenance matters because collectors treat that linkage as part of the sticker's identity and its place within the capsule's story.

The sticker reproduces the dAT team mark and carries organizational identity rather than a player autograph. Team allegiance is a steady demand vector: some buyers chase specific orgs for display, others for roster or historical ties tied to the sticker's era.

As a standalone capsule issue, copies move into circulation through drops tied to the event, subsequent capsule openings, and trading between players and collectors. Everyday supply is shaped by how many remained applied in play versus stored clean, which affects how often clean Foils change hands.

An applied copy has been used on a weapon and will show the physical history of play, while an unapplied clean sticker remains on its stock and holds the original condition collectors covet. Condition and unapplied status matter because they preserve the finish and edges; clean Foils are what most condition-sensitive collectors look for.

This sticker combines a premium Foil finish, Exotic rarity, and partial provenance to make a simple, defensible case for collectors who prioritize finish and scarcity. For a long-term holder the package is straightforward: a boxed film presentation of a team mark from a known event that thins as more copies get applied or lost to crafts.

Foil films show on weapons with more flash than paper, and they work well on bold placements where the org mark remains legible. That visual payoff fuels craft demand, which cycles back into desirability as applied Foils on popular skins can be more visible and influential than clean stock in trade chatter.

When buying, verify the sticker is unapplied and matches the Foil film; inspect edges and glue residue and prefer a stock copy with no handling marks. Check the live price block on this page for the current market level before completing a purchase.
