Sticker | Shooter Close is a Paper finish event sticker from the 2013 DreamHack Winter set, a standard non-autograph community-style decal designed by Valve and released November 27th, 2013. It is an event piece rather than a player or team decal, and presents as the default film for its capsule.
Paper is the base film here; it sits at the bottom of the finish ladder relative to Holo, Foil, Glitter and Gold variants that can appear in other stickers. That ladder is simple to read: Paper is the everyday stock, while Holo and above are the premium layers collectors chase.
This sticker is tied to the 2013 DreamHack Winter event and carries that provenance in its name and release. Event provenance matters because collectors track sets and releases by the event stamp, and this one is explicitly a 2013 DreamHack Winter piece.
As a standalone event sticker it primarily reaches the market through trade and resale rather than active drops tied to current operations. Everyday supply is shaped by collectors releasing duplicates, old applied inventories being scraped, and the handful of clean copies that remain available to the community.
Applied copies have been glued to weapons in-game and therefore alter the piece irreversibly; a clean, unapplied sticker keeps the original stock and backing intact. For collectors the difference is practical: unapplied examples preserve condition and versatility, while applied examples are generally treated as finished crafts or play-worn items.
Collector interest centers on the sticker's clear event provenance, its place as a Paper base-film from an early holiday event, and the reality that clean stock thins over time. Those three factors make it sensible for someone building a themed DreamHack Winter holding or assembling vintage event runs for the long term.
Paper stickers are low-profile on weapons, so they sit flush on common canvases and are easy to pair with other decals without competing for attention. That makes them useful for balanced crafts where you want the event label visible but not overpowering more decorative or premium finishes.
Look specifically for an unapplied, clean Sticker | Shooter Close in Paper if you want original stock; condition and original backing are the key checks. The live price block on this page shows the current market level and is where you should confirm what sellers are asking right now.
Released November 27th, 2013 and carrying the 2013 DreamHack Winter name, this sticker sits among early event-era releases and reflects the simple Valve-designed community and event aesthetic of that time. That placement gives it a familiar spot for anyone piecing together older event runs.
