Sticker | WorldEdit (Gold) | Cologne 2016 is the Gold-finish autograph for WorldEdit from the 2016 ESL One Cologne set. As a full-provenance autograph with the top-tier Gold finish and Exotic rarity, it sits at the peak of the capsule's finish ladder and carries true collector weight.
This is the Gold-finish autograph for WorldEdit, issued as part of the 2016 ESL One Cologne set and bearing Valve's design credit. It is an autograph sticker tied to Flipsid3 Tactics and released alongside that event's capsule, a standalone collectible within the Cologne 2016 run.
Gold sits at the top of the finish ladder for its set: it is above Paper, Holo, Foil and Glitter in the hierarchy collectors use. Treat Gold as the premium film for Cologne 2016 autographs, the finish that sits at the summit for presentation and perceived rarity.
Collectors chase Gold for the visual presence and the clear separation it creates from base finishes; it reads as the premium variant of the same signature and design. Because it occupies the highest finish rank for the set, it draws attention from those building high-end autograph runs or seeking standout crafts.
The sticker carries WorldEdit's autograph and is associated with Flipsid3 Tactics, giving it direct player provenance rather than a community or team-only label. Full provenance here means the signature and team line tie the sticker to that specific player identity, which matters to autograph-focused collectors.
This piece is part of the 2016 ESL One Cologne release and is identified with that event name exactly. Event provenance links the sticker to the capsule and the moment of release, making the Cologne connection part of its collectible identity.
Gold autographs like this enter circulation through the Cologne 2016 capsule and the secondary market as collectors open, trade, and sell copies. Supply shapes over time: applied stickers, crafts, and stock movement all influence how many clean copies remain available to trade.
Applied stickers become thinner with scraping and are destroyed if removed; every craft consumes a physical copy by burning it. Clean, unapplied stock is finite and only shrinks as stickers are used or crafts are completed, so surviving clean Gold autographs decline with use.
This sticker carries an Exotic rarity grade and sits in the high rarity tier within the sticker grading ladder. That Exotic designation underpins how collectors view its scarcity relative to lower-grade stickers from the same capsule.
Gold autographs are prized when crafted onto high-visibility weapons because the finish reads boldly against many skins and the signature remains the focal point. For collectors aiming at eye-catching builds, this finish plus WorldEdit's autograph improves demand for well-placed crafts.
Released as part of the Cologne 2016 set and credited to Valve, this sticker sits in the mid-era of modern CS collectible releases where team and player autographs were standard capsule fare. Its placement in that release run gives it the specific historical anchor collectors use when grouping and comparing autographs.
