Sticker | dephh (Gold) | Berlin 2019

This is the Gold autograph for dephh tied to the 2019 StarLadder Berlin event. It is an autograph sticker rather than a team or community design, and it was issued as part of the Berlin 2019 Returning Challengers Autograph Capsule.

Gold sits at the top of the usual finish ladder for a set, above Paper, Holo, Foil, and Glitter. Within this sticker's set Gold functions as the premium film, visibly separating it from the base versions of the same signature.

Collectors prize this Gold because it elevates the autograph visually and signals rarity compared with the base signature variants. The finish_rank here is top, so the film itself is part of what drives attention among autograph collectors.

This sticker occupies a mid tier on the catalog's price ladder, which means it trades above budget options but below grail-level exotica. For a collector that profile suggests a balance between accessibility and premium presence.

The sticker carries dephh's autograph and is tied to his time with compLexity Gaming, a direct provenance that collectors track. Full provenance is present for this copy, which matters when comparing signatures across the same player and team.

The sticker is tied to the 2019 StarLadder Berlin event and wears that tournament affiliation plainly. Event provenance like this anchors the piece within the tournament-set narrative collectors use when grouping and valuing stickers.

This autograph was released in the Berlin 2019 Returning Challengers Autograph Capsule, so it belongs to that capsule's autograph run and its sibling lineup. Knowing the capsule tells you what other autographs and finishes circulated alongside this sticker.

Applied to a weapon, a sticker can be scraped thinner and will be destroyed if fully removed; crafts consume a copy when performed. Clean, unapplied stock only shrinks from use and crafting, so unhandled examples are the supply that collectors monitor.

The sticker carries an Extraordinary rarity grade, placing it at the top end of sticker rarity tiers. That rarity underpins collector interest and the felt scarcity among other autograph issues from the same capsule.

Gold autographs like this are chosen for visible, high-contrast placements on prized weapons because the finish holds up well to close-up crafts. That demand for clean, well-placed Gold signatures feeds back into desirability among builders and collectors.

Released August 14th, 2019, and designed by Valve for the 2019 StarLadder Berlin set, this piece sits in the late 2010s wave of autograph capsules. Its origin and timing place it with other event-driven autograph releases from that period.
