Sticker | HooXi | Budapest 2025 is the Paper autograph for Astralis' HooXi from the StarLadder Budapest 2025 set, released through the Budapest 2025 Challengers Autograph Capsule. As a base-film High Grade autograph with full provenance it sits at the entry level of the capsule's autograph ladder but still matters for roster collectors and crafts.
This is the Paper autograph of HooXi representing Astralis from the StarLadder Budapest 2025 set. It is a player-signed High Grade sticker issued as part of the Budapest 2025 Challengers Autograph Capsule and presented on Valve stock by the set designer.
Paper is the base film for this set and sits beneath premium films in the finish ladder. Within the capsule hierarchy Paper offers the same signature as higher films but without the reflective or metallic treatment that lifts rarity and visual impact.
Given its budget price tier and the capsule origin, this copy occupies the affordable end of the autograph spectrum for collectors. It is an easy way to own HooXi's signature without chasing premium finishes, and that accessibility defines its collector profile.
The sticker carries HooXi's autograph and ties directly to Astralis through the signed element; provenance is full, so the signature is the clear provenance driver here. That direct player-team link is what gives this sticker its primary collector pull rather than any film premium.
This sticker was released in the Budapest 2025 Challengers Autograph Capsule, which groups the autograph lineup from StarLadder Budapest 2025 under Valve's designer wrapper. The capsule origin places it alongside the set's other player autographs and frames supply and collectible siblings.
Applied stickers change state irreversibly: scraping thins the film and removing an applied sticker destroys it. Every craft consumes at least one copy, so any stock that remains clean and unapplied is the only thing that gets rarer over time.
Tagged High Grade, this sticker sits on the lower end of the rarity ladder compared with Contraband tiers but above base community prints. That High Grade label underpins its collectible identity and tells you how it slots among other autograph grades.
Paper autographs are commonly used for crafts when the signature and color match a weapon skin, but they lack the visual pop of holos or foils when layered on high-contrast finishes. Collectors who craft with Paper autographs prize matching and signature alignment rather than film flash, and that practical appeal drives some demand.
As part of the StarLadder Budapest 2025 release, this sticker belongs to the mid-era run of event autograph capsules produced by Valve and sits with other 2025 set releases. Its place in that release cycle affects how it's collected alongside contemporaneous autographs rather than older, fixed-print eras.
