Sticker | chayJESUS (Embroidered) | Budapest 2025

This is an embroidered autograph of chayJESUS representing RED Canids from the StarLadder Budapest 2025 set. The piece is the embroidered film variant and carries the player's signature rather than being a team or community non-autograph.

Embroidered sits at the special end of the finish ladder above Paper and the usual holo/foil options; it is counted among the finishes that collectors treat as a premium step. Within a set the hierarchy is relative, with embroidered files occupying a unique, top-tier space for tactile, visibly different stock.

Collectors go after embroidered because the texture and visual depth read differently on a weapon than flat films, and those qualities change how a craft looks on metal. Given the finish_rank of special, embroidered copies are pursued as a stylistic alternative to the base design rather than a simple color variant.

The autograph is chayJESUS, wearing RED Canids identification, so the sticker directly ties to that player and team. Full provenance is present, which collectors use to confirm authenticity and provenance lineage between trades and displays.

This sticker was released in the Budapest 2025 Contenders Autograph Capsule, which groups it with the other autographs and variants from that StarLadder Budapest 2025 release. The capsule origin places it among the set siblings and explains where clean stock originally circulated.

Once applied to a weapon a sticker can be scraped thinner through successive scrapes and is destroyed if removed, and every craft consumes a copy of the sticker used. That means the supply of pristine, unapplied examples only declines with use and crafting activity.

The sticker carries a Remarkable rarity grade, positioning it above common sticker grades and supporting why collectors treat it as more than a base drop. That rarity sits together with the embroidered finish and autograph status to define where it sits in set hierarchies.

Embroidered autographs tend to be chosen for center-face crafts or on canvases where texture complements the weapon finish; signatures sit well on darker or matte bases that let the stitching read. Because each craft burns a copy, demand for clean embroidered autographs feeds back into desirability for certain weapon-face combinations.

This piece belongs to the StarLadder Budapest 2025 wave and is part of the Contenders Autograph Capsule released from that event, placing it in the recent run of event autograph drops. Its standing is defined by that release and the set's designer, Valve, rather than broad era labels.
