Sticker | alex666 (Holo) | Budapest 2025

This is a Holo autograph for alex666 representing team B8 from the StarLadder Budapest 2025 release. It is part of the set distributed through the Budapest 2025 Contenders Autograph Capsule and is identified as an Exotic autograph by Valve.

Holo is a premium film above the base Paper for its set and sits below the highest decorative films in the finish ladder. Within the usual hierarchy of sticker films, Holo occupies the middle premium tier that collectors move toward when they want more visual presence than Paper but without the top-tier rarity treatments.

Collectors favor this Holo because the finish amplifies the signature and artwork without changing the underlying design, and it sits on the premium side of the set's film ladder. That elevated visual impact is what separates it from the base version and drives interest among autograph hunters.

The autograph belongs to alex666 and carries the direct player association with B8, so ownership ties the sticker to that player and that team explicitly. The input lists full provenance, which further cements the sticker's collectible identity for people tracking player signatures.

This sticker was released from the Budapest 2025 Contenders Autograph Capsule, which groups it with the autograph siblings from the same event. Origin from that capsule frames it as part of the event's autograph run rather than a community or team sticker drop.

Applied to a weapon, a sticker's application is irreversible in normal play: it can be scraped thinner by wear and will be destroyed if removed. Every craft consumes a copy from clean stock, so available clean copies only diminish as people apply and use them.

The sticker is graded Exotic and carries a high rarity tier in the provided hierarchy, placing it toward the upper end of supply for this kind of item. That rarity underpins collector behavior and is a key qualitative reason people target this autograph over more common grades.

Holo autographs like this one are popular for crafts because the finish interacts well with weapon finishes and shows off the signature on prominent placements. Collectors aiming for visibility will prioritize clean, unapplied copies for crafting, since applied copies lose stock and cannot be returned to clean condition.

This piece belongs to the StarLadder Budapest 2025 run, so it sits with the mid-decade set of autograph releases designed by Valve for that event. Its place in the Budapest 2025 capsule sequence gives it the context collectors use when comparing it to other event autograph releases.
