This is a Paper autograph sticker: Sticker | sh1ro | Rio 2022, an in-game High Grade autograph issued for IEM Rio 2022 and pulled from the Rio 2022 Challengers Autograph Capsule. The name line and the player signature mark it clearly as a player autograph tied to Cloud9.
Paper sits at the base of the finish ladder for the Rio 2022 set; it is the standard film beneath Holo, Foil, Glitter and the rarer premium films. As a Paper autograph it reads plainly on dark and light skins and presents the signature without the reflective effects that lift higher-tier finishes.
This sticker is flagged in the budget bracket, so expect it to sit well below the set's premium finishes in collector valuation. For a builder or bulk autograph collector it represents an accessible entry into Rio 2022 player material while still carrying full capsule provenance.
The sticker is tied to IEM Rio 2022, and its identity is inseparable from that tournament capsule: the Rio 2022 Challengers Autograph Capsule. Event provenance matters here because the capsule name is stamped on every issued copy and collectors track pieces by the event set they came from.
This came from a tournament capsule that stopped issuing after the drop window, so the print for the Rio 2022 Challengers Autograph Capsule is fixed. Clean stock only thins over time as applied copies get used, and that permanent supply cap is the baseline scarcity property for every capsule sticker.
An applied copy has been glued onto a weapon and shows that application, while a clean copy remains on the sticker sheet and is called unapplied. For autographs like sh1ro's, many collectors prefer an unapplied example because the signature and stock are preserved without handling or adhesive residue.
Collectors pick this up for a mix of things the label supports: a genuine player autograph, full capsule provenance, and the straightforward demand profile of a Paper High Grade. It slots into long-term holds for those accumulating event autographs or for craft-focused builds where budget autographs are useful.
Paper autographs are easy to place on a wide range of weapon finishes and they sit flatter than heavier films, which makes them popular for crafts that emphasize a clean, signature-forward look. sh1ro's signature in Cloud9 colors reads well on contrast backgrounds, which is why many crafters reach for Paper copies when they want an unobtrusive autograph.
When shopping, target an unapplied example with full capsule provenance and the Paper finish clearly listed, then check the live price block on the page for current market value. Inspect photos for stock condition and any evidence of handling before committing; the price block is where the market figure lives and updates in real time.
