Sticker | tarik | Cologne 2016 is a Paper finish autograph for Counter Logic Gaming issued for the 2016 ESL One Cologne set. It is a team-affiliated autograph rather than a community or non-signed variant, presented on the base Paper film.
Paper is the entry film in the finish ladder; it sits below Holo, Foil and the specialty metals in the hierarchy for the same set. For buyers that track finish scarcity, Paper is the foundation against which all premium films are judged.
This piece lives in the mid tier by the provided price bracket - collectible and accessible rather than premium or grail. Practically, that means it is a sensible grab for collectors who want an autograph with full provenance without targeting top-end finishes.
The sticker carries tarik's autograph and is explicitly tied to his stint on Counter Logic Gaming as shown on the art. Full provenance on the sticker is important: the signature links the sticker directly to the player and the roster printed on the sticker, which is what collectors pay attention to.
This sticker is part of the 2016 ESL One Cologne release and should be read as a Cologne 2016 item. Event provenance provides a stable point of reference when comparing same-player stickers from different releases.
It was released via the Autograph Capsule | Counter Logic Gaming | Cologne 2016, which places it among that capsule's autograph siblings. Knowing the capsule connects this sticker to the other team autographs and the distribution mechanics of that release.
Applied stickers become part of a weapon finish: they can be scraped thinner and will be destroyed if fully removed. Every craft or sticker application consumes a copy, so clean, unapplied stock only gets rarer with use.
The sticker is labeled High Grade in the sticker rarity ladder, putting it above standard grades but below the top contraband and ultra-rare categories. That grade underpins collector expectation around how often clean examples appear on the market.
Collectors favor autographs like tarik's for name recognition on crafted weapons, and Paper autographs glue down cleanly for most craft styles. Because this is a Paper film, it behaves predictably under placement and scraping, which matters if you plan to craft or display it on a prized skin.
As a piece from the 2016 ESL One Cologne set, this sticker sits in the mid-era of the game's sticker releases and reflects Valve's organized team autograph runs from that period. Its release context shapes collector memory and how it compares to earlier and later autograph lines.
