Sticker | pita (Gold) | Cologne 2016 is a Gold-finish autograph carrying pita's signature from the 2016 ESL One Cologne set. A full-provenance Exotic autograph in a standalone capsule, it sits at the top of the finish ladder for its release and draws interest from traders who target premium films and clean stock.
This is a Gold autograph sticker for player pita tied to the 2016 ESL One Cologne set and issued under Valve's designer credit. It is an autograph kind with full provenance listed and comes from a standalone capsule rather than a broader multi-capsule run.
Gold sits at the top of the finish ladder for this set, above paper, holo, foil and glitter in the usual hierarchy. Treat Gold as the premium film tier for collectors focused on finish distinction rather than base-stock availability.
Collectors chase Gold because it represents the rarest film available for this autograph, and it visually separates the sticker from paper and mid-tier films. That top finish combined with an autograph treatment is what moves attention from more common variants of the same design.
This sticker is tied to the 2016 ESL One Cologne event and carries that event provenance as part of its identity. Event provenance matters because collectors track which releases a signature was issued under, and Cologne 2016 is printed directly on the sticker's lineage.
The autograph belongs to pita and the sticker lists his affiliation with Counter Logic Gaming, which anchors the signature to a known player-team pairing. Full provenance on this item makes that connection explicit and collectible.
Being a standalone capsule release, copies of this sticker entered the market through the original capsule distribution and later secondary trading and player applications. Everyday supply is shaped by how many copies were opened, how many remained clean, and how many were applied to weapons and removed back into circulation.
Applied means the sticker has been used on a weapon and will carry application wear or residue; clean or unapplied copies retain original stock condition. Collectors prize unapplied examples because condition and original adherence affect display, crafting options, and long-term desirability.
This sticker appeals to collectors who value full provenance paired with the top-tier Gold finish and Exotic rarity; those three factors together justify holding for a thematic or finish-focused collection. It sits as a clear play for someone assembling premium autograph runs from the Cologne 2016 release.
Gold autographs like this are often targeted for high-visibility positions on popular weapon skins where the reflective film complements metallic finishes. Valve is the listed designer, and that clean, centered autograph placement on many weapons is why certain copies are favored for crafting.
When buying, verify the sticker is unapplied and that the finish is Gold rather than a lower film; condition photos and provenance notes are key. The current market price is shown in the live price block on this page, which is the source to consult before committing to a purchase.
