Sticker | nex (Foil) | Cologne 2015

This is a Foil autograph version of nex's mousesports sticker from the 2015 ESL One Cologne set. It is an Exotic-grade autograph released through the Cologne 2015 autograph capsule and carries the designer credit of Valve.

Foil sits above Paper and Holo in the finish ladder for this set, a clear step into the premium films for Cologne 2015 stickers. Within the usual hierarchy Foil is a recognized upgrade from the base film and under the very top-tier specialty finishes.

Collectors chase Foil for its stronger visual pop over the paper baseline and because it reads cleanly on most weapon skins when applied. The finish_rank here is premium, so the Foil doubles as both visual appeal and a simple provenance marker compared with a paper twin.

This sticker sits in the mid price bracket relative to its peers, making it a common choice for collectors who want a step up from budget papers without moving into grail-only territory. That placement makes it approachable for display or crafts while still carrying premium-film character.

The autograph is nex of mousesports, and the signature ties the physical sticker directly to that player and team. The full provenance label on this piece confirms the autograph is original to the release rather than an applied later label, which collectors care about.

This sticker is tied to the 2015 ESL One Cologne event. Event provenance anchors it to that specific Cologne 2015 release and is the primary historical tag collectors use when grouping stickers from the same run.

It was released in the Autograph Capsule | Group D (Foil) | Cologne 2015, which places it among the other Foil autographs printed for that capsule. Knowing the capsule clarifies the set siblings and which finishes were available alongside nex's autograph.

Once applied to a weapon a sticker can be scraped thinner and will be destroyed if removed; every craft that consumes the sticker stock reduces clean copies. Clean, unapplied examples are the supply that actually dwindles as people use these in-game.

This item carries a High-grade rarity stance for stickers, which underpins why collectors treat it as above common releases but below contraband-style rarities. The Exotic classification and high rarity_tier mark it as a notable collectible within the Cologne 2015 autograph line.

Collectors craft Foil autographs onto prized weapons to balance signature legibility with the weapon's finish; nex's Foil reads well on darker and neutral skins. That crafting demand feeds back into desirability because applied Foils can complete thematic loadouts that traders and casters look for.

As part of the Cologne 2015 autograph capsule, this sticker belongs to the mid-era wave of event autographs produced by Valve. Its release during the Cologne 2015 run places it firmly among the established event autograph issues collectors catalog when tracing autograph series evolution.
