Sticker | fame (Gold) | Shanghai 2024

This is a Gold autograph of fame representing Virtus.Pro from Perfect World Shanghai 2024. It is an autograph sticker, not a team or community decal, and it was released as part of the Shanghai 2024 Challengers Autograph Capsule by Valve.

Gold sits at the top of the finish ladder for stickers in this set, above Paper, Holo, Foil and Glitter. Within the Shanghai 2024 films, Gold is the premium film collectors point to when they want a standout presentation and a different tier of scarcity than the base options.

Collectors prize Gold here because it deliberately sits above the base and intermediate films in rarity and presence; that higher finish changes how the autograph reads on a weapon and how the sticker performs in crafts. The finish_rank for this sticker places it among the most collectible films in the lineup, which is why players and craft-focused buyers single it out.

This sticker occupies a mid priced bracket among tradable autographs from the capsule, making it more approachable than the absolute top grails while still carrying premium attributes. For a collector that wants Gold-level presence without pushing into the highest market extremes, this is the sort of piece that fits that plan.

The autograph is fame's and it carries the Virtus.Pro affiliation clear in the design and provenance. Full provenance on an autograph like this is what ties the signature to the sticker itself, and that linkage is a major part of its collector appeal.

This sticker is tied to Perfect World Shanghai 2024, and that event name is printed as the item's provenance. Event provenance here anchors the sticker to a single release context, which is how collectors trace origin and compare siblings across other capsules.

It was released in the Shanghai 2024 Challengers Autograph Capsule, which groups these player autographs together and shapes the supply pool. Knowing the capsule tells you which other autographs share the same drop and which crafts and trades will be cross-comparable.

Once applied to a weapon a sticker can be scraped thinner and eventually destroyed if removed; crafting onto a gun consumes a copy. Clean, unapplied stock is finite and every craft or application reduces that clean supply permanently.

This sticker carries an Extraordinary rarity grade, placing it at the upper end of the sticker grade ladder. That rarity underpins collector expectations for supply and how the market treats Gold autographs from this capsule.

Gold autographs like this are picked for high-visibility placements on a weapon face where the finish and signature can read without obstruction. Collectors whose crafts are judged by visual impact will prioritize clean Gold copies because demand for those placements feeds back into desirability.

This piece comes from the Perfect World Shanghai 2024 set and sits with other autographs from that release era. Its placement in the Shanghai 2024 Challengers Autograph Capsule makes it a part of that specific release's story rather than an earlier or unrelated sticker run.
