Sticker | KSCERATO (Gold) | Rio 2022

This is the Gold autograph for KSCERATO tied to IEM Rio 2022, a signed team-linked piece showing FURIA on the plate. It is an autograph sticker rather than a community or team-only skin, and it was released as part of the event's sticker offerings.

Gold sits at the top of the finish ladder for this set, above Paper, Holo and Foil variants. Within the Rio 2022 lineup Gold is the premium film that collectors position as the apex of the design's available finishes.

Collectors chase Gold because it elevates the base signature with a distinct metallic film and signals the highest finish tier for the set. On this KSCERATO autograph the Gold treatment gives the autograph a different visual weight than the base variants, which is why it draws attention from finish-focused buyers.

This sticker occupies a mid price tier relative to the broader market shape and reads as a serious collector pick without reaching grail-level brackets. For someone assembling a Rio 2022 autograph run or a FURIA craft, it offers a balanced entry of premium finish and attainable liquidity.

The autograph belongs to KSCERATO and carries his FURIA affiliation directly on the sticker; that player-team pairing is the primary provenance cue collectors use to judge relevance. Full provenance here supports identity and traceability, which matter when stacking signatures in a craft or longlist.

The sticker commemorates IEM Rio 2022. The event name is stamped on the release and ties the autograph to that tournament's sticker set, giving it event-specific context collectors track when building themed collections.

This piece dropped from the Rio 2022 Contenders Autograph Capsule, so it shares origin with the other autograph variants issued in that capsule. Capsule origin tells you which sibling autographs exist and which supply was fixed at release.

Once applied to a weapon the sticker can be scraped thinner and is destroyed if you remove it; each craft or application burns a copy from clean stock. Clean, unapplied examples therefore become scarcer over time as players and crafters use copies.

The sticker is graded Extraordinary and sits at the top end of rarity for stickers in general, which underpins collector interest and the collectibility narrative around Gold autographs. That grading is why provenance and finish push its desirability compared with lower rarity grades.

Collectors typically craft Gold autographs onto prized weapon finishes where the metallic film and signature align with the gun's lines; placement choices here affect demand because certain combos photograph and display better. For KSCERATO on FURIA-themed builds, crafters will favour placements that keep the autograph legible while using the Gold sheen to complement the host skin.

This autograph belongs to the IEM Rio 2022 era of releases and reflects Valve's continued use of event-linked autograph capsules. Its release era is part of modern event sticker runs where capsule-backed autographs and full provenance are standard considerations for collectors.
