Sticker | shox (Foil) | Katowice 2019

This is the Foil autograph sticker for shox, carrying the G2 Esports association and issued as part of the 2019 IEM Katowice set. It is an Autograph design, not a team or community decal, and it was released through the Katowice 2019 Returning Challengers Autograph Capsule.

Foil sits above Paper and Holo in the finish ladder for this set and below any special top-tier films like Gold or Lenticular. As a premium film it alters the visual depth and reflectivity compared with the base stock, placing it on the collector hierarchy where finish materially matters.

Collectors chase the Foil because it amplifies the signature and design, giving the autograph stronger presence than the base version. The premium finish_rank assigned to this film explains why it shows up in displays and crafts more often than the Paper twin.

This sticker sits in the mid bracket of the set's value ladder, so it occupies a middle ground for collectors looking to balance desirability with accessibility. That positioning means it is more attainable than the top-tier rarities while still trading above paper variants.

The autograph is shox's, linked to his G2 Esports identity, and the full provenance label confirms the signature origin is intact. Provenance like this is what ties a collector directly to the player's signature rather than an anonymous copy.

The sticker is tied to 2019 IEM Katowice and carries that event provenance straight on the decal. Event origin matters to collectors because it anchors the signature to a specific release and set within the game's sticker history.

It was released in the Katowice 2019 Returning Challengers Autograph Capsule, which identifies its siblings and set placement. Capsule origin tells you which other autographs and finishes circulated alongside it and helps track clean stock over time.

Applied stickers can be scraped thinner and are destroyed if removed, and every craft consumes a copy from circulation. Clean, unapplied stock is therefore finite and only becomes scarcer as weapons are stickered or crafts are made.

This sticker carries a Remarkable rarity grade, placing it above the common lower grades and below the highest collectible tiers. That grade underpins how it is slotted into the overall sticker hierarchy and collector expectations.

Collectors often place Foil autographs on weapons where the reflective film complements the skin's finish, and shox's signature benefits from clean, visible placement. Because crafting burns copies, demand for well-placed Foil autos feeds back into the desirability of clean examples.

Released as part of the 2019 IEM Katowice slate, this sticker sits in the era of returning-challengers autograph drops and Valve-designed capsule releases. Its release context shapes how collectors compare it to earlier and later autograph waves.
