Sticker | NQZ (Holo) | Budapest 2025

This is the Holo autograph for NQZ tied to StarLadder Budapest 2025 and released through the Budapest 2025 Legends Autograph Capsule. It carries the Exotic rarity designation and represents a signer-item for paiN Gaming, produced under Valve's designer credit and shipped as part of that capsule's drop.

The sticker uses the Holo film, which sits above the set's paper baseline and below the topmost premium films in the finish ladder. For collectors that parse film hierarchy, Holo is a visibly upgraded surface: the signature catches light differently and reads as a premium finish compared with plain paper stock.

Given the budget price tier listed and the sticker's Exotic rarity, this sits as an accessible Holo autograph rather than a top-tier grail. The market shape is thin, so availability and movement behave differently than high-liquidity staples; treat it as a niche collectible that commands attention mostly from fans of the player and capsule.

This sticker belongs to the StarLadder Budapest 2025 release and carries that event provenance in its capsule origin. Event provenance is what ties a sticker to a single print run, and having the event name on the piece is the record collectors use to trace supply and authenticity.

Because it comes from a tournament capsule, the print run is fixed at release and no new copies are produced once the capsule stops dropping. Clean stock only thins from the existing supply as collectors apply or hold, so scarcity is a permanent property of the release rather than a transient market state.

An applied sticker has been glued onto a weapon and shows use; an unapplied or clean copy remains on the sticker sheet. Collectors prize unapplied copies because they preserve the surface and signature in original condition, while applied items are valued differently for in-game displays or specific craft builds.

This piece pulls together a recognizable autograph, full capsule provenance, and a Holo finish on an Exotic rarity, which makes it interesting as a long-term hold for collectors who track player signings and capsule runs. Its budget price-tier label keeps entry low while the thin market profile means careful patience can be rewarded by scarcity-driven demand.

Holo autographs like NQZ's are often chosen for signature placement on popular skins because the finish lifts the penwork visually and reads well on glossy surfaces. Collectors and crafters prefer certain finishes for their contrast and how a signature sits against a weapon's pattern, and that placement demand cycles back into desirability for specific film/signature combinations.

When looking to buy, prioritize an unapplied, clean example in Holo to preserve the autograph and finish. The live price block on this page shows current market pricing and is the place to check for the going rate before you commit.
