Sticker | JBa (Holo) | Shanghai 2024

This is the Holo autograph for JBa representing Wildcard from the Perfect World Shanghai 2024 lineup. It is an official Autograph sticker designed by Valve and issued as part of the event's sticker run, not a team or community-made design.

Holo sits above the base Paper finish in the set's film ladder and is considered a premium film for this capsule. Within the usual hierarchy, Paper is the baseline, Holo and Foil occupy the mid-tier premium slots, and finishes like Gold or Lenticular sit above them.

Collectors chase the Holo because it elevates the autograph's visual depth compared with the Paper variant and reads stronger on many weapon canvases. The premium finish_rank shows up in offers and demand: Holo signatures are where casual collectors start to engage seriously with an autograph line.

This sticker falls into a mid bracket in the capsule's price ladder and behaves like a mid-tier collectible for collectors balancing budget and desirability. That position makes it accessible to people chasing event autographs while still carrying more cache than the paper counterparts.

The sticker bears JBa's autograph and is tied directly to his representation of Wildcard, with full provenance on the listing. That provenance-an intact autograph tied to a named player and team-drives collector confidence more than an anonymous or community mark would.

The sticker is tied to Perfect World Shanghai 2024, and that event name is part of the sticker's identity and set context. Event provenance matters because collectors track sets and lineups by the event printed on the sticker, and this one sits squarely in the Shanghai 2024 release.

It was released via the Shanghai 2024 Contenders Autograph Capsule, placing it among that capsule's autograph siblings. Being from a named capsule helps collectors locate matching teammates, compare finishes, and follow the capsule's supply trajectory.

Once applied to a weapon a sticker can be scraped to remove finish but will become progressively thinner and is destroyed if removed entirely; every sticker used in a craft is consumed. Clean, unapplied stock only gets rarer as players and crafters put them onto weapons, so unaltered inventory shrinks over time.

This piece carries an Exotic rarity designation and sits in the high rarity_tier for stickers, which underpins stronger collector interest than common-grade items. That grade signals fewer originals in circulation relative to base-tier prints and is a major element collectors consider when comparing items.

Autograph Holos like this tend to be favored for crafts because the signature pops on common weapon canvases and pairs well with other premium finishes. Craft demand for a Holo autograph is a two-way street: desirable placement fuels interest, and that interest feeds back into market activity for clean copies.

This sticker belongs to the Shanghai 2024 era of event releases and is part of the ongoing lineage of autograph drops that Valve has produced for event tie-ins. Its standing comes from being a named-event autograph in that run, which collectors use to map set progressions and autograph lineups.
