Sticker | NEO | Boston 2018

Sticker | NEO | Boston 2018 is the Paper autograph variant tied to Virtus.Pro's NEO from the 2018 ELEAGUE Boston set. It is an official Valve-produced autograph rather than a team or community decal, intended for collectors who want a player-signed sticker without premium film treatments.

This example is Paper, the base film in the finish ladder for its set. Within that ladder, Paper sits below premium films such as Holo and Foil, with special finishes like Gold or Lenticular occupying the top positions. The hierarchy matters because equal art across films will trade along that relative scale rather than by art alone.

Labeled in the budget bracket, this sticker performs like a low-cost entry point for autograph hunting in the Boston 2018 pool. For collectors that track copy counts and liquidity, it behaves like a thinner-market autograph with fewer active trades than hotter names, so expect the market to move sporadically.

This is an autograph by NEO representing Virtus.Pro, and the full provenance label confirms it carries a bona fide in-game signature. That connection to the player and team is the primary provenance-driven value driver for this piece, not the film treatment.

It was released in the Boston 2018 Legends Autograph Capsule, which groups a set of player autographs from the same event. Being capsule-issued means its siblings share the same release context and any capsule-level scarcity or narrative will affect the group as a whole.

Apply this sticker to a weapon and it becomes part of that item: each scrape thins the applied film and attempting to remove it destroys the sticker. Crafting an item with this sticker consumes a copy, so clean, unapplied stock is the only thing that can shrink over time as collectors craft and trade.

The sticker carries the High Grade rarity classification, placing it above base commons but below the rarest Contraband-tier pieces. That grade provides a qualitative underpinning for collector demand and how it slots into set hierarchies when compared to other graded stickers.

Collectors looking to craft will favor the autograph itself on key weapon canvases; Paper autographs like this read clearly on darker weapon finishes and make for subtle, signature-focused crafts. Demand for those crafts is modest here because the film is base, but a clean autograph on the right skin still draws attention from niche builders.

Within the Boston 2018 Legends Autograph Capsule this NEO autograph sits among the event's player signatures and shares the same Paper treatment as other base-film autographs. Its combination of player, team, and High Grade rarity defines its spot in the capsule hierarchy rather than any external scene labels.
