Sticker | Poorly Drawn Number K is a Paper community sticker from the Poorly Drawn Capsule, a Valve Workshop piece released March 18th, 2021. It sits at the base film for the capsule and is a budget-tier, low-rarity pick that collectors use for casual crafts and set fills.
This is a Paper community sticker - not an autograph and not a team logo - drawn for the Poorly Drawn Capsule and released by Valve. It carries the Workshop identity rather than a pro player or organization, and its presence in the capsule ties it directly to that set's siblings and release window.
Paper sits at the base of the finish ladder for this set: it is the standard film you expect as the default offering. Above it in hierarchy live the premium films that collectors prize more heavily, but Paper is the baseline everyone starts from within the Poorly Drawn Capsule.
This sticker is classed in a budget price tier and lives on the lower end of collector value for the capsule. That position makes it an easy filler for crafts, a practical trade piece, and a common target when someone wants set completion without chasing premium finishes.
The artwork is a community submission handled through Valve's Workshop process and credited to Valve in the designer field. It reads as an illustrative, tongue-in-cheek piece rather than a competitive signature, which places it firmly in the artwork-driven corner of a capsule rather than any player provenance.
Being from the Poorly Drawn Capsule frames it alongside other Workshop entries with similar intent and aesthetic; it belongs to that release's pool rather than to an autograph or team capsule. Collectors tracking that capsule will know this sticker as one of the set's base community offerings.
Once you apply a sticker to a weapon it can be scraped thinner but cannot be returned to a fresh, unused copy; removing a sticker destroys it. Each craft consumes a copy from your inventory, so the count of clean, unapplied stock only ever goes down as people use these for finishes and crafts.
The sticker carries a High Grade rarity tag in the set's grading scale, which places it below the higher scarcity tiers like Contraband and above the most common labels. That grade frames expectations for availability and explains why clean copies are straightforward to find compared with rarer grades.
Collectors favor Paper community stickers like this for casual placements and layered crafts where the artwork is part of the visual story rather than a centerpiece signature. Because Paper is the base film, it behaves predictably under scrapes and in common craft templates, so people use these to test placements or to round out themed loadouts.
Released as part of the Poorly Drawn Capsule on March 18th, 2021, this piece sits in the Workshop-era flow of community-driven capsules. Its identity as a Valve-designated Workshop sticker places it in the stream of community art releases from that period rather than in autograph or team collectables.
