Sticker | BUDA (Holo) | Rio 2022 is the Holo autograph from the Rio 2022 Challengers Autograph Capsule for IEM Rio 2022, signed by BUDA of 9z Team. It carries full provenance and an Exotic rarity, a premium film on a tournament-run autograph that sits in the capsule ladder above paper.
This is the Holo autograph for BUDA, issued as Sticker | BUDA (Holo) | Rio 2022 from the Rio 2022 Challengers Autograph Capsule tied to IEM Rio 2022. It is an autograph sticker for BUDA of 9z Team produced by Valve and carried in the tournament capsule rather than being a community or team-only release.
The finish here is Holo, a premium film that sits above standard Paper in the set's finish ladder and below the top-tier finishes reserved for the rarest prints. Holo refracts and lifts signatures cleanly, which is why it occupies the middle premium slot for tournament autograph lines.
Given its labels, this BUDA Holo lives in the budget bracket of its market tier despite being a premium finish inside the capsule ladder. For collectors that track liquidity, it reads as a thin-market autograph with full provenance and high rarity, so expect value behavior that follows finish and scarcity rather than broad-market volume.
The sticker is tied to IEM Rio 2022 and belongs to the Rio 2022 Challengers Autograph Capsule. Event provenance is what fixes the print run to that capsule, making the sticker a direct piece of that tournament's collectible output.
Because this came from a tournament capsule, the print is fixed at release and clean stock only grows scarcer as more copies are applied to weapons or lost to damage. Tournament capsules do not continue to drop after the event window, so the supply narrative is a permanent one rather than a temporary market fluctuation.
An applied copy has the sticker physically affixed to an item and can't be returned to an unapplied state without removing or destroying the sticker, which affects collector utility. Clean, unapplied copies preserve the original stock and provenance, and that preservation is why condition and unapplied status carry measurable weight among collectors.
Collectors chase the intersection of full provenance, a premium Holo film, and the fixed supply of a tournament capsule; this BUDA Holo checks those boxes and reads as a long-term hold for someone focused on autograph depth from tournament releases. Its Exotic rarity and thin-market profile make it appealing for those building autograph runs or hunting specific capsule ladders.
Holo autographs like this one are commonly chosen for high-visibility crafts because the finish plays well against both dark and bright skins, and BUDA's signature reads clearly through the film. That practical demand for clean-looking crafts feeds back into desirability, especially among buyers who plan to place the sticker on a prized weapon rather than stockpile it sealed.
When pursuing an unapplied Sticker | BUDA (Holo) | Rio 2022, verify the item is listed as clean/unapplied and that the finish is Holo, and confirm provenance tags are intact. The live market price for this listing is shown in the price block on the page, which is where you should check current asking levels before committing.
