An Embroidered autograph of MAJ3R from the StarLadder Budapest 2025 set, issued by Valve as part of the Budapest 2025 Challengers Autograph Capsule. Full provenance and a special embroidered film put this copy in a different lane from the paper autographs, and it lives in a relatively thin trading market.
This is an Embroidered autograph of MAJ3R representing Aurora, released in the StarLadder Budapest 2025 lineup and issued through the Budapest 2025 Challengers Autograph Capsule. It is an autograph sticker rather than a team or community decal, and the design and signature are official Valve work credited to the set's designer.
Embroidered sits at the special end of the finish ladder for the set, above the common paper base and above the usual Holo and Foil grades. Treat it as a top-tier cosmetic within the film hierarchy: it reads as a collectible finish rather than a routine sticker film and shows that distinction immediately when held next to the paper autograph.
Collectors go after Embroidered because it materially changes how the signature presents on-skin and in showcases compared with the paper autograph. The special finish_rank assigned to this film explains the interest: it carries a different craft presence and visual weight that the base autograph does not, which is why players and crafters prize it even when the sticker's overall market sits in a budget tier.
The sticker is signed by MAJ3R and tied to Aurora through the printed autograph and team icon. Because provenance is full on this copy, that connection is explicit and traceable, which is the practical driver for collectors who chase specific players and roster identity within a set.
This sticker comes from the Budapest 2025 Challengers Autograph Capsule, so it belongs to the StarLadder Budapest 2025 release family and shares its sibling pool with the other autographs distributed there. Being from a named capsule makes its origin clear and groups it with the capsule's other player autographs for collectors who collect by drop.
Applied stickers become part of the weapon finish and the game mechanics only allow thinning by scraping; you cannot transfer an applied sticker back to full stock. Any craft or sticker application that alters a copy reduces the clean inventory, and removed or heavily scraped items are effectively destroyed for full-stock collecting.
Rarity is listed as Remarkable, placing this autograph in the mid tier among sticker grades. That mid rarity underpins expectations around availability and how many clean copies might survive long term compared with more common paper variants.
Embroidered autographs like this are chosen for crafts because the stitched look and raised texture read well on premium weapon skins and high-visibility loadouts. Collectors will often place them on skins where the signature and team icon stay unobstructed, since that placement preserves the finish's effect and keeps the applied copy attractive to buyers.
This piece sits with the StarLadder Budapest 2025 run, a recent tournament release designed by Valve and distributed through the named Challengers Autograph Capsule. As a post-Budapest 2025 autograph it belongs to the modern capsule era and the release cadence that followed that event's set drops.
