Sticker | Grim | Budapest 2025

This is the Paper autograph of Grim from the StarLadder Budapest 2025 series, a player-signed sticker rather than a team or community graphic. It carries the event branding and the autograph treatment that identifies it as part of that tournament's sticker set.

Paper is the base finish for the Budapest 2025 run and sits beneath the premium films available in the same set. Think of it as the entry film: the look is flat compared with Holo or Foil, and its place in the finish ladder is the standard people buy to collect signatures rather than chase rarer optics.

This sticker sits in the budget bracket, which speaks to its accessibility for collectors building autograph runs. In a thin market profile, availability can feel steady but trade activity is quieter than more liquid lines, so movement is measured rather than rapid.

The autograph belongs to Grim and is tied to his stint with Passion UA, so provenance is clean and explicit for collectors who track player signatures. Full provenance here matters: it confirms the sticker's origin and anchors its appeal to those who collect by player or roster.

It was released in the Budapest 2025 Challengers Autograph Capsule, which groups this autograph with the rest of that event's signed pieces. Being a capsule release defines its siblings and the immediate set collectors will compare when assembling a complete event autograph collection.

Applied stickers can be scraped thinner and are destroyed if removed, and every craft consumes a copy from clean stock. That simple one-way mechanic means pristine stickers only grow scarcer as people use or craft them.

This sticker carries a High Grade classification, placing it among the entry-to-mid sticker grades rather than the top Contraband tier. The High Grade label underpins how collectors qualify it within the sticker-grade ladder and sets expectations for its baseline scarcity.

Collectors still use Paper autographs like this for crafts when they want a signature on a weapon without spending on premium films; placement on a clean float and a complementary skin can make the autograph read well. Because the finish is Paper, the visual pop is modest, so buyers focused on in-game aesthetics often prefer higher films, but autographs retain craft demand simply for the signed provenance.

As part of the StarLadder Budapest 2025 lineup, this sticker belongs to the modern event series era and reflects Valve's standard autograph workflow and capsule distribution. Its release ties it to that specific event run and the set design produced by Valve for Budapest 2025.
