Sticker | dumau (Embroidered) | Budapest 2025

This is an Emboidered autograph sticker for dumau, issued for StarLadder Budapest 2025 and released through the Budapest 2025 Contenders Autograph Capsule. It carries the player's genuine signature rather than a team or community mark, so it reads as a player-autograph piece from that event.

Embroidered sits at the top of the special-finish end of the film ladder for the set, above paper, holo, foil, glitter and gold in terms of finish rarity and collectible prominence. Call it a specialty film: it behaves like a premium finish rather than a standard paper variant and is treated accordingly by collectors.

Collectors prize embroidered for its tactile, stitched look and the way it changes a weapon craft compared with the flat base. The finish's special rank is the reason people hunt for it instead of a paper autograph of the same design - it simply reads as a different class of collectible.

The sticker carries dumau's autograph and is identified with team Legacy, so ownership links directly to that player and roster identity. Because the provenance is full, the signature anchors the sticker to dumau in a way clean stock collectors notice and value.

This piece comes from the Budapest 2025 Contenders Autograph Capsule, which groups it with the other autograph releases from StarLadder Budapest 2025. The capsule origin tells you this sticker belongs to that event's autograph run and sits alongside its fellow contenders' signatures.

Applied to a weapon the sticker becomes part of the skin: scraping thins it and removing it destroys the item, and every craft consumes a copy of the sticker. Clean, unapplied examples therefore only shrink in supply as collectors and decorators use them.

Rarity for this sticker is listed as Remarkable, placing it in the middle of the sticker grading ladder rather than at the extreme ends. That mid-grade standing underpins its availability relative to the highest tiers and the base paper run.

Embroidered signatures take well to visible placements because the stitched effect reads on high-contrast surfaces and on handguns and rifles that show the detail. Collectors and crafters pick embroidered autographs when they want a signature that alters a weapon's visual weight, and that demand feeds interest back into clean-stock copies.

This is part of the StarLadder Budapest 2025 era produced by Valve, so it belongs to the modern autograph cycles tied to that event and capsule release. As a Budapest 2025 autograph with an embroidered finish, it occupies the intersection of recent event releases and the continuing run of special-film autographs.
