Sticker | DeadFox (Foil) | Berlin 2019

This is a Foil autograph sticker: DeadFox's signed HellRaisers sticker issued for the 2019 StarLadder Berlin set. The piece is the foil variant of that autograph design, released by Valve as part of the returning challengers autograph run.

Foil sits above the base Paper finish in the standard film ladder for sets; it is the premium film step collectors look for when a design has only paper at the floor. In this capsule the foil occupies the middle premium rung below specialty finishes like Gold or Lenticular but clearly ahead of plain stock.

Collectors prize the Foil here because it elevates the autograph's presence on a weapon without stepping into the highest-tier specialty finishes. The finish_rank for this sticker is premium, so compared with the paper autograph the foil is the variant most buyers reach for when they want something that reads as upgraded but remains attainable.

The autograph is DeadFox's, tied to his HellRaisers listing on the sticker. The fact that it carries a full provenance stamp means the signature is the authentic, issued autograph and that provenance is a clear driver for collector interest.

This sticker dropped in the Berlin 2019 Returning Challengers Autograph Capsule, which groups it with the set's other returning-challenger autographs. Origin from that capsule places it among siblings that share the same autograph theme and release window.

Applied to a weapon a sticker can be scraped thinner and it is destroyed if removed; that process burns a copy each time you craft. Clean, unapplied stock is finite and only becomes scarcer as items are applied or consumed in crafting.

The sticker carries a Remarkable rarity and is labeled in the mid rarity tier for the set. That grade puts it between the common lower grades and the top-tier rarities, which underpins moderate scarcity relative to base stickers.

A foil autograph like this reads strongly on darker or matte weapon finishes where the foil flash contrasts with the paint. Collectors use these foils in crafts because the signature holds visual weight while remaining flexible for placement, and demand for applied copies feeds back into interest for clean examples.

Released on August 14th, 2019 as part of the 2019 StarLadder Berlin run, this sticker belongs to the returning challengers autograph cohort from that event. Its timing and capsule origin place it squarely in the later stages of the event's sticker lifecycle rather than in early promotional drops.
