Sticker | Maka (Gold) | Budapest 2025 is the Gold-format autograph for Maka of 3DMAX from the Budapest 2025 autograph capsule. A top-tier film on a full-provenance autograph, it sits at the premium end of the set and is aimed squarely at collectors who prize capped supply and a named signature.
Sticker | Maka (Gold) | Budapest 2025 is the Gold autograph variant for Maka, carrying his signature and the 3DMAX team attribution from the Budapest 2025 Challengers Autograph Capsule for StarLadder Budapest 2025. This is an extraordinary-rarity, designer Valve release with full provenance and a film that sits above the base print for the set.
Gold is the top film family for this set, positioned above paper, holo, foil and glitter in the finish ladder. As the set's upper-tier film, Gold is read by collectors as the premium visual option rather than an incremental cosmetic.
This sticker is presented in the mid price tier among market peers, which makes it attainable for collectors targeting premium films without stepping into the absolute grail tier. That bracket positioning informs who typically chases it: collectors after high-end finish and autograph provenance without the most extreme scarcity premiums.
Collectors chase the Gold film here because it elevates Maka's autograph beyond the base paint and gives the signature visual weight that the paper or holo versions lack. The finish_rank as top signals that the film itself is a primary driver of demand separate from the name on the sticker.
This sticker ties directly to StarLadder Budapest 2025, and it carries the event's capsule as its origin: the Budapest 2025 Challengers Autograph Capsule. Event provenance like that is what lets a sticker be traced back to a single approved drop and a defined print run.
The autograph is Maka's and the sticker explicitly lists his team as 3DMAX, so the signature links the artwork to a living player and a current team listing. Full provenance reinforces that the ink and attribution are official, which collectors prefer for autographs.
Because this issue comes from a named tournament capsule, the print was fixed at release and no further capsule drops will expand supply. That permanent cap means clean stock only thins from existing circulation as copies are applied or kept sealed.
An applied copy changes provenance and use-case: it no longer exists as an unapplied collector's piece but as a crafted cosmetic on a weapon. Unapplied, or clean, copies preserve the original state and therefore carry distinct appeal and utility for collectors who want the autograph intact.
Combine full provenance, a top-tier Gold finish, and an extraordinary rarity grade and you get a sticker that appeals to collectors who plan for long holds rather than quick flips. The mix speaks to those who value lineage and finish quality above purely speculative plays.
Gold autographs like Maka's photograph strongly on darker skin finishes and are often chosen for centerpiece placement on a weapon face where the signature reads clearly. That craft demand feeds back into desirability because well-composed, high-finish crafts are the items other buyers seek out later.
When buying, prioritise an unapplied, clean copy with the Gold finish and full provenance intact; condition and applied status are the two biggest practical checks. The current market price is shown in the live price block on this page, which you should consult before committing.
