Sticker | RpK | MLG Columbus 2016 is a Paper autograph for RpK on the G2 Esports roster from the 2016 MLG Columbus set. A straightforward, full-provenance autograph on base Paper stock - a practical pick for collectors who want signed Columbus-era material without premium finish premiums.
This is a Paper autograph sticker: the signed RpK piece issued for G2 Esports in the 2016 MLG Columbus set. It is the base-film, player-signed variant rather than a team or community-only design, and it carries Valve's designer credit as part of the official Columbus lineup.
The sticker is Paper, the base film for the set's finishes. Within the usual ladder Paper sits beneath premium films like Holo, Foil and Gold, so this piece reads as the entry-level finish for Columbus autographs despite carrying the original signature.
Market framing for this sticker places it in a mid bracket: accessible relative to premium finishes but carrying more collector interest than purely common community stock. For someone building a Columbus autograph collection it functions as a practical, attainable signed piece rather than a centerpiece.
The autograph is RpK's and is explicitly tied to his G2 Esports listing on the sticker, so provenance is intact. That full provenance - player name plus team - is what gives the signature real weight for collectors who prioritize authenticated autographs.
This sticker ties directly to 2016 MLG Columbus. Event provenance matters because it fixes the sticker to a specific release and aesthetic run, which collectors use to group and compare items from the same tournament set.
It was released in the Autograph Capsule | G2 Esports | MLG Columbus 2016, so it belongs with the other signed G2 pieces from that capsule. That origin maps it into the Columbus autograph family rather than a general team capsule or community drop.
Applied stickers can be scraped thinner and are destroyed if removed, and every craft that uses a sticker burns a copy from inventory. Clean, unapplied stock only becomes scarcer as items are used or crafted onto weapons.
The sticker's official rarity grade is High Grade while the market scarcity tier places it on the lower end, meaning it is not among the rarest grades in the Columbus catalog. That combination underpins steady collector interest without the supply pressure attached to higher scarcity tiers.
Paper autographs like this one are commonly used on crafts where the signature is the focal point but a premium film is not required. Collectors will value neat placement and low-wear stock; a clean Paper autograph on a compatible weapon still reads well for display and keeps the signed element visible without demanding a premium finish.
This piece belongs to the Columbus-era releases and reflects Valve's autograph capsule approach from that run. As part of the 2016 MLG Columbus output it occupies the mid-era sticker timeline where event-linked autographs were issued as capsule-specific player pieces.
