Sticker | Rickeh (Foil) | Katowice 2019

This is a Foil Autograph: Rickeh's signed sticker produced for the 2019 IEM Katowice event. It's an official Valve-designed autograph tied to compLexity Gaming and was released in the Katowice 2019 Legends Autograph Capsule.

Foil sits above Paper and Holo in the usual finish ladder for this set but below top-tier specialty films. Think of it as a premium film that visibly lifts the signature compared with the base stock without stepping into the ultra-rare finish bracket.

Collectors lean on the foil variant because the metallic sheen gives the autograph more presence on a weapon compared with the paper version. The foil catch and reflect light differently, which keeps demand steady among builders who want a signed look without chasing the rarest films.

This sticker sits in the mid bracket for its peer group, meaning it's neither a budget staple nor at the premium apex. For collectors that balance investment and display, it often represents the pragmatic choice: visible on a craft but not in the highest rarity tier.

The autograph is Rickeh's and it ties directly to his time with compLexity Gaming. Full provenance on the piece anchors it to that player-team pairing, which is what collectors pay attention to when assessing an autograph's appeal.

The sticker is tied to 2019 IEM Katowice, the event printed on this release. Event provenance tells you where the autograph was issued and places the sticker within the set created for that tournament.

This came from the Katowice 2019 Legends Autograph Capsule, so it's part of the capsule's autograph run and shares its release with the other legends and signatures issued there. Capsule origin groups it with the capsule's siblings and the visual language Valve used for that drop.

Applied stickers get thinner with each scrape and are destroyed if removed; applying consumes a clean copy and every craft or trade-up that uses a sticker burns another one. In short: clean stock only shrinks as people apply, scrape, or craft.

The sticker carries a Remarkable rarity grade, placing it in the mid rarity band among sticker grades. That grade underpins both how often you see clean examples and how collectors position it versus higher or lower graded pieces.

Foil autographs like this are commonly favored for faceplate and body crafts because the signature reads well against many finishes. The foil catches light on popular weapon canvases, so demand from crafters who want a signed look feeds back into steady interest for clean copies.

This sits in the Katowice 2019 era of releases and is part of the autograph wave from that event. Its release placement shapes how it's compared to earlier and later autograph drops and how collectors slot it into their Katowice 2019 runs.
