This is a Paper finish autograph of karrigan for Astralis from the 2016 ESL One Cologne set, issued through the Autograph Capsule | Astralis | Cologne 2016. It is the straight paper variant rather than a premium film, and it carries the player's inked signature as its defining trait.
Paper is the base film for this set and sits below premium films such as Holo or Foil in the finish ladder. Within the Autograph Capsule context, paper is the standard collector entry and reads plainly on weapons compared with the shimmering alternatives.
This sticker is in the mid price tier, which places it above the most budget options but short of premium autograph finishes. For collectors that want a named autograph without chasing top-tier films, this is a practical middle ground that balances availability and demand.
The sticker bears karrigan's autograph and is tied to Astralis through team branding on the artwork. Full provenance on this release means the signature line is clearly linked to the player and team, a key factor collectors check first.
The piece is tied to 2016 ESL One Cologne and carries that event identity in its name and capsule listing. Event provenance like this helps collectors anchor the sticker to a specific release and set of contemporaneous capsules.
Released in the Autograph Capsule | Astralis | Cologne 2016, this sticker shares origin with the rest of the Astralis autograph lineup from that capsule. Capsule origin groups siblings together and determines which autograph peers circulate alongside this paper example.
Once applied to a weapon the sticker can be scraped thinner and will be destroyed if removed; scraping and crafting permanently consume copies. Clean, unapplied stock only shrinks as stickers are used in-game or burned for crafts, so unmodified examples are the finite resource collectors track.
This autograph carries the High Grade rarity label, placing it above the common sticker grades but below contraband-level rarities. That grade supports its standing among autograph releases and affects how often comparable copies appear on the market.
Paper autographs like this sit flat on most skins and read clean under common placements, making them useful for straightforward crafts where signature visibility matters more than finish flash. Because the finish is base paper, collectors often prefer it for preserves of signature clarity rather than seeking shimmer effects.
As part of the Cologne 2016 release, this sticker sits inside a wave of early tournament autograph capsules that many collectors still reference when building autograph sets. Its release date marks it as part of that era's autograph output and shapes how it is compared to later capsule lines.
