Sticker | Kaze (Holo) | Shanghai 2024

This is the Holo autograph for Kaze, a team-signed style sticker tied to Perfect World Shanghai 2024 and issued as part of the Shanghai 2024 Contenders Autograph Capsule. It is an autograph piece rather than a team or community label, carrying Valve's design credit and the Exotic rarity designation.

Holo sits above the base paper film in the finish ladder for this set and is treated as a premium film relative to paper. Within the usual hierarchy Holo is a step up from Paper and sits below the most exclusive films reserved for the highest finish tiers.

Collectors prize the Holo because it adds visual depth to the autograph while keeping the signature legible and intact; the finish lifts the design without obscuring the pen strokes. Given its premium finish rank, Holo copies are preferred over the Paper twins by those who focus on display-ready autographs.

This sticker occupies a mid bracket in the set's pricing ladder, meaning it trades above budget papers but well below grail-tier finishes. For a collector that wants an autograph with visible premium characteristics without reaching the top-end ladder, this is the practical middle ground.

The sticker carries Kaze's autograph and is tied to his time on Rare Atom, so provenance is clean and full. That player-team linkage is the primary provenance cue collectors use to attribute and compare autographs across capsules and releases.

It commemorates Perfect World Shanghai 2024, the event printed on the artwork and capsule identity. Event provenance anchors the sticker to that release and is the reference point collectors use when grouping siblings from the same tournament.

This came from the Shanghai 2024 Contenders Autograph Capsule, which places it among the autograph lineup from that capsule. Being a capsule release frames the sticker with its autograph peers and explains the set-specific supply profile.

Applied stickers become part of the weapon finish and can be scraped thinner with each scrape; removal destroys the sticker. Every craft or application consumes a copy from clean stock, so the available pool of pristine, unapplied stickers only gets smaller.

The sticker carries a High rarity tier within the Exotic grading structure for the set, which underpins its collectibility and standing among other autographs. That grade signals a thinner supply than common papers and is a structural reason collectors assign it a higher attention level.

Kaze Holo autographs are often chosen for crafts because the Holo film keeps the signature readable while adding a display sheen that complements many weapon finishes. Collectors prefer placement that leaves the autograph unobscured, and certain finishes increase demand for particular craft pairings.

This release belongs to the Perfect World Shanghai 2024 run and sits in the modern series of event autograph capsules produced by Valve. As part of that release window it reflects the design language and capsule strategy of its time, so collectors compare it with other Shanghai 2024 siblings when building sets.
