Sticker | Lake | Budapest 2025

This is the Paper autograph for player Lake representing team M80 from the Budapest 2025 Contenders Autograph Capsule tied to StarLadder Budapest 2025. It is an official Valve-designed autograph sticker issued through the event capsule and carries the in-game High Grade rarity classification.

Paper sits at the base of the finish ladder for this set; it is the entry-level film below the premium films that sit above it. Holo, Foil, Glitter and Gold finishes occupy higher rungs in the same capsule, while special lenticular or embroidered treatments would sit at the very top of that hierarchy.

Market-facing labels place this sticker in the budget bracket, so expect it to trade below mid and premium finishes from the same capsule. For collectors that focus on autograph run or crafting, it's an accessible entry rather than a grail hunt.

This sticker is tied to StarLadder Budapest 2025 and originates from the Budapest 2025 Contenders Autograph Capsule. Event provenance is what fixes the sticker to a single print run and gives it the contextual identity collectors reference when organizing sets.

Paper autographs glue down clean and sit flat on a wide range of skins, which makes them popular for straightforward crafts and signature displays. Because higher finishes can catch light differently, some builders still prefer paper autographs when they want crisp signature placement without finish glare.
