Sticker | fame (Holo) | Rio 2022

A Holo autograph of fame issued in the Rio 2022 Contenders Autograph Capsule and tied to Outsiders. This is a signed player sticker rather than a team or community paint, released by Valve for the IEM Rio 2022 set and carrying the Exotic rarity listed on the piece.

This example is the Holo tier, the premium film that sits above standard Paper for the set. In the finish ladder for event stickers Holo is a clear step up from Paper and below the top-tier special films, which collectors treat as the most elevated options.

The sticker falls into the budget bracket among issued finishes for the capsule, which means it is accessible relative to higher-tier inks while still carrying premium-film appeal. For a collector that wants autograph provenance without stretching to the rarest films, it occupies a practical spot on a build or a hold list.

This sticker is part of the Rio 2022 Contenders Autograph Capsule and references IEM Rio 2022 directly. Event provenance like this ties the sticker to a specific drop and design run, which matters when you want the original capsule context on a piece.

Capsules tied to a tournament stop issuing after the event, so this print run is fixed and the available clean stock only decreases with time and use. That fixed supply is a structural scarcity trait of tournament-issued stickers rather than a temporary market snapshot.

An applied copy has been glued to a weapon and often shows handling that impacts its collector grade, while an unapplied clean copy preserves the original surface and sticker edges. Collectors prize unapplied Holo autographs from capsules like this because condition and intact stock retain the provenance and display quality of the signature.

Collectors who focus on autographs will look at the combination of fame's signature, the Holo film, Exotic rarity, and full capsule provenance when deciding on a long-term hold. Those elements together make it a targeted pick for assembling event autograph runs without chasing the absolute top-tier finishes.

Holo autographs like this are often chosen for crafts because the film plays well against popular weapon finishes and the signature reads clearly after application. That demand from crafters for clean, well-placed holographic autographs feeds back into desirability among users who prefer built weapons with visible player signatures.

When you shop, prioritize an unapplied, clean Holo copy that shows full provenance and intact edges; those preserve the autograph and film. The current market price appears in the live price block on this page, which is where you should check value before committing.
