Sticker | Lore Poison Frog (Foil) is a Foil community artwork piece from the Riptide Surf Shop Sticker Collection released by Valve. It is not an autograph or team mark but a Workshop-style design issued as a premium film within that capsule set.
Foil sits above Paper in the usual finish ladder and is treated as a premium film for this collection. Within the set hierarchy it ranks higher than the base stock but below the absolute top-tier specialty finishes collectors chase.
Collectors go for the Foil because it upgrades the art without shifting to the extreme rarity or novelty of the top finishes. Given its premium finish rank, Foil amplifies the design's presence on a weapon while staying more accessible than the most exclusive films.
This sticker sits in a mid-level price bracket for its peers, which makes it a practical choice for players who want a premium film without stepping into grail territory. For collectors that balance display and spendability, mid-tier Foils often hit a useful sweet spot.
The Lore Poison Frog is a community artwork piece rather than a signature or team logo, crafted under Valve's Workshop program and issued with Valve as the designer. The image reads as a stylized amphibian motif, fitting the surf-shop theme of the capsule.
It originates from the Riptide Surf Shop Sticker Collection, so it belongs to the family of designs curated for that capsule and shares set identity with other community artworks released alongside it. Coming from a named capsule ties it to that small ecosystem of sibling stickers and finishes.
Applied stickers can be scraped thinner on a weapon and are destroyed if fully removed, and every craft consumes a copy. That makes clean, unapplied stock finite: once a sticker is applied or used in crafting, that pristine example is gone.
This sticker carries an Exotic rarity classification and sits high on the sticker-grade ladder. That grade underpins its standing among other community pieces and informs collector expectations around availability and desirability.
Foil finishes like this one play well on bold, high-contrast weapon canvases where the film's reflectivity complements the art. Collectors choose Foil for crafts when they want a visible upgrade that still photographs cleanly and doesn't overpower a weapon's finish.
Released on September 21st, 2021, this sticker falls into the era of Workshop-led capsule additions where community designs were prominently featured. Its timing places it with other branded capsule drops from that period and shapes how it is catalogued by collectors.
