This is the Paper-autograph version of Sticker | XANTARES | London 2018, an autograph sticker tied to the 2018 FACEIT London event. It is a team-affiliated autograph for XANTARES representing Space Soldiers and was released by Valve through the London 2018 Returning Challengers Autograph Capsule.
The sticker is a Paper finish, the base film for its set. In the finish ladder for this capsule Paper sits below premium films like Holo and Foil and above nothing else; it is the standard stock that most collectors use as the baseline when comparing treatments.
Labeled as a budget bracket, this sticker sits on the accessible side of the market for autograph High Grade pieces from the set. For collectors that want an on-theme autograph without chasing premium films, it offers straightforward entry and liquidity shaped by modest demand.
The autograph is XANTARES, attached to his Space Soldiers listing; that named provenance is what gives the sticker its collector identity. Full provenance is present, so the signature ties directly to the player as issued by Valve rather than an uncertain source.
This sticker was released in the London 2018 Returning Challengers Autograph Capsule, which groups a run of returning-challenger autographs from the event. Origin in that capsule places it alongside the other returning challengers from the London 2018 set and defines the sibling pool collectors compare it against.
Applied stickers can be scraped thinner through removal and an applied sticker is destroyed if you strip it off a weapon. Every craft that uses this sticker consumes a copy, so the amount of clean, unapplied stock only goes down as people use them.
The sticker carries a High Grade rarity, which places it on the lower end of the sticker rarity ladder that moves up to Contraband. That grade underpins its collectability as a named autograph without pushing it into the high-rarity collectible tiers.
Paper autographs like this are commonly used on a wide range of weapons where the signature reads clearly but the finish stays understated. Collectors prefer premium films for flashy centerpiece crafts, so Paper still finds steady use for team-theme loadouts or when multiple stickers are layered on a single weapon.
This is part of the London 2018 wave of autographs released around the 2018 FACEIT London event by Valve, positioning it among year-specific tournament releases. That placement makes it a piece of the late 2010s event-run catalog and frames how collectors assemble sets from that run.
