Sticker | ICY | Shanghai 2024

This is a Paper Autograph of ICY for Cloud9, issued as part of the Shanghai 2024 Contenders Autograph Capsule for Perfect World Shanghai 2024. It is an in-game autograph sticker rather than a team or community patch, signed for the capsule release and designed by Valve.

Paper is the base film for the set and sits below the premium films like Holo, Foil, Glitter and Gold in the finish ladder. As the paper variant, this ICY autograph represents the entry-level film within that hierarchy while retaining the same signature artwork and designer credit.

Market labels place this item in the budget bracket, so it behaves like an accessible autograph for collectors who want the player stamp without chasing premium films. In a thin market this means availability can be spotty, but it remains the practical choice for building a player collection without stretching for higher finishes.

This sticker is tied to Perfect World Shanghai 2024, the event named on the sticker's identity and capsule. Event provenance matters because the capsule origin is the immutable context collectors use when sorting runs, builds, and provenance chains.

The Shanghai 2024 Contenders Autograph Capsule stopped dropping after the event window, so the print for this autograph is fixed and will only thin as clean stock is applied or destroyed. That permanent cap on supply is what gives any tournament capsule sticker long-term scarcity by design.

An applied sticker has been pasted onto a weapon and is therefore altered; an unapplied, clean sticker remains on stock and can be inspected for perfect edges and centering. Collectors prize clean copies because condition is pure and transferable, while applied pieces are about the look on a specific craft.

For a long-term holder the draw here is straightforward: an ICY autograph with full provenance from the Shanghai 2024 capsule on the base Paper film. Low rarity grading and a budget price bracket make it a low-friction way to own a player autograph tied clearly to the event and capsule.

This autograph sits nicely on a wide range of weapon canvases; Paper signatures tend to sit flatter and read cleaner on darker finishes. Collectors who craft skins favor certain placements and contrasts, and even a Paper autograph can lift a build when the signature aligns with a weapon's composition.

When you buy, check the sticker is unapplied and that the Paper film matches what you expect, with clean edges and no residue. The current market price is shown in the live price block on the page, which reflects whatever demand the thin market and capsule provenance are driving right now.
