Sticker | dav1deuS | Budapest 2025

This is the Paper autograph of dav1d in the Budapest 2025 Legends Autograph Capsule, a player-signed team autograph issued for StarLadder Budapest 2025 and designed by Valve. It's an in-set autograph rather than a team or community spray, carrying the player name and paiN Gaming credit on clean Paper stock.

The finish here is Paper, the base film in the finish ladder for the set. Above Paper sit the premium variants like Holo and Foil, with Gold and specialty films occupying the top rungs; Paper is the entry-level film relative to those upgrades.

This sticker sits in the budget bracket for its price tier, meaning collectors treat it as an attainable autograph option rather than a top-tier chase piece. For a collector building a dav1d or paiN Gaming collection it's a logical, low-friction fill that still carries genuine event provenance.

The sticker is tied to StarLadder Budapest 2025, and the capsule name is Budapest 2025 Legends Autograph Capsule. Event provenance matters here because the sticker's origin is explicit on the capsule and the in-game item, not because of any external scene claim.

This item comes from a tournament autograph capsule, so the print is fixed at release and no new tournament drops will replenish it after the capsule stopped publishing. That permanence means only existing clean stock and applied copies circulate, and what remains of untouched supply is what collectors chase later on.

Applied copies are those already glued onto weapons; they carry wear and are tied to the host weapon's condition. Unapplied, or clean, copies retain full sticker condition and are preferable for collectors who care about grading, re-selling, or crafting, so an unapplied example generally commands more interest than an applied one.

Collectors will pick this up for the solid combination of player autograph and full capsule provenance while keeping budget constraints in mind. The Paper autograph serves as a base autograph to own a dav1d signature from StarLadder Budapest 2025 without stretching for premium finishes, making it reasonable as a long-term hold in a themed collection.

Paper autographs glue down flat and work well on a wide range of weapons when the goal is a clean, understated craft; they don't catch the light like Holo or Foil but pair well with darker skins. Builders who prefer signature clarity and team identity will place this where the signature reads at a glance, and that steady demand for clean player autographs feeds back into its ongoing desirability.

When buying, prioritize an unapplied copy in clean condition and confirm the finish is Paper to avoid accidental upgrades or different variants.
