Sticker | dav1deuS (Gold) | Budapest 2025

This is a Gold autograph sticker for dav1d representing paiN Gaming, issued as part of the StarLadder Budapest 2025 lineup and pulled from the Budapest 2025 Legends Autograph Capsule. It is an Extraordinary-tier autograph designed by Valve and carries full provenance tied to that capsule run.

Gold sits at the top of the finish ladder for this set, above the standard paper, holo, foil and glitter films, and is the premium film offered for autographs here. As a Gold autograph it reads as the high-end option within the autograph hierarchy for the capsule.

Despite its top-grade finish and rarity, this sticker is positioned in the budget bracket of its immediate market cohort, which makes it an accessible way to own a high-finish autograph. Expect collector interest driven more by finish and provenance than liquidity, since activity has been thin for this line.

The sticker is tied explicitly to StarLadder Budapest 2025, reflecting that event's autograph capsule issuance and the in-event distribution of signatures. Event provenance matters because this sticker's print run and official capsule identity are anchored to that named tournament.

The Budapest 2025 Legends Autograph Capsule no longer drops after its issuance, so the print for this autograph is fixed and cannot be expanded. Over time clean stock thins as applied examples accumulate, making remaining unapplied pieces the permanent scarce resource.

An applied copy has been placed onto a weapon and shows that use; it is valid for play but less desirable for collectors who prize pristine stock. An unapplied, clean sticker preserves the original backing and is the version most serious collectors seek when chasing provenance and display-grade condition.

Collectors will peg interest here to three joined factors: a top-tier Gold finish, the Extraordinary rarity, and the capsule-backed provenance from Budapest 2025. Those elements make it a sensible long-hold piece for someone who wants a high-finish autograph without stepping into the most illiquid grail brackets.

Gold autographs like this one sit heavy on a skin and read well from distance, so builders often reserve prominent placement for them when crafting themed weapons. The signature visibility and reflective surface of Gold finishes drive demand among crafters who want a showpiece autograph at focal points on a loadout.

When buying, verify the sticker is unapplied and the finish listed as Gold, and confirm the Extraordinary rarity and capsule provenance match the listing. The live market price is shown in the price block on this page, which is where you should check current asking and sale levels before committing.
