Sticker | dumau (Glitter) | Rio 2022

This is a Glitter-finish autograph of dumau representing 00 Nation, part of the IEM Rio 2022 collection and released through the Rio 2022 Contenders Autograph Capsule. It is an official designer release by Valve and carries the autograph treatment rather than a team or community motif.

Glitter sits above Paper and Holo in the normal finish ladder for set films, part of the premium tier of visual treatments for sticker releases. Within the set hierarchy Glitter occupies the premium band where collectors expect extra sheen and visual texture compared with base films.

Collectors chase Glitter because the film increases visual pop and separates an autograph from its paper twin, giving the same signature greater display appeal. The premium finish_rank attached to this sticker is the reason builders and traders prefer it over base copies.

The autograph is dumau's and it ties the sticker directly to his tenure with 00 Nation, which is the provenance collectors track when judging authenticity and interest. Full provenance is present, so the signature's origin and chain are clear for anyone valuing player-linked pieces.

This sticker was released in the Rio 2022 Contenders Autograph Capsule, which groups it with the rest of the IEM Rio 2022 autograph drop and defines its immediate siblings. Capsule origin signals what other autographs and finishes circulated alongside it and shapes set-level supply.

Applied stickers become part of the weapon finish: they can be scraped thinner with use and are destroyed if removed, and every craft or application burns a copy from clean stock. That means available pristine examples only decline as people use and craft them.

The sticker carries a Remarkable rarity and the labels place it at a mid rarity_tier among sticker grades. That qualitative grade underpins how it sits between base set items and the rarer high-end grades collectors chase.

Glitter autographs like this one are often chosen for crafts because the finish holds up visually when placed on a weapon's face or main panel, and a signed Glitter can lift a craft's presence without needing the top rarity. Collectors will typically place it where the autograph reads cleanly and the film's shimmer complements the skin's palette.

Released as part of the IEM Rio 2022 lineage and issued October 21st, 2022, this sticker belongs to the wave of Contenders autograph releases tied to that event. Its standing is defined by that release window and the set it shares with other Rio 2022 autographs.
