Sticker | s1n (Holo) | Budapest 2025

This is the Holo autograph for s1n, issued as an Autograph sticker for StarLadder Budapest 2025 and released through the Budapest 2025 Contenders Autograph Capsule. It carries the player signature treatment rather than a team or community design, and it is verified as an Exotic rarity from Valve's set.

The sticker wears the Holo film, which sits above the base paper film in a set's finish ladder and below higher tier or special finishes. Within the usual hierarchy Holo is a premium film chosen when collectors want a visible upgrade over the paper canvas without stepping into the topmost special finishes.

Collectors prize this Holo because the film amplifies the autograph's presence on a weapon and keeps the design readable at distance, advantages the paper version lacks. Given its premium finish designation, the Holo is the version collectors reach for when they want signed stock that still feels collectible rather than experimental.

The sticker carries s1n's autograph and ties directly to his tenure with M80; that signature makes the piece personal and traceable to the player. Full provenance further cements that link, which is exactly the sort of provenance-driven detail collectors lean on.

This release is straight out of the Budapest 2025 Contenders Autograph Capsule, so its siblings are the other Autograph releases from that capsule. Being from that capsule places it clearly within the event's autograph drop and groups it with the other player signatures collectors will compare it to.

Applied to a weapon a sticker can be scraped thinner and will be destroyed if removed; every craft that uses an applied sticker burns a copy from circulation. Clean, unapplied stock only decreases as owners apply or craft, so intact examples are the durable pool collectors fight over.

The sticker is marked Exotic and sits in the higher bands of sticker rarity; that high rarity underpins how collectors catalogue and prioritize it. High rarity interacts with finish and provenance to determine which copies are held versus used.

This Holo autograph behaves well on dark or midtone finishes where the holo film adds depth without overwhelming the signature. Collectors often target clean placements on favored weapon canvases because a well-placed Holo autograph preserves legibility while boosting visual impact, which feeds back into demand for unapplied examples.

This piece is part of the StarLadder Budapest 2025 wave from Valve, placing it with the Contenders Autograph capsule releases of that event. As a post-event autograph from that drop, it sits among a modern run of autograph stickers rather than the earliest paper-era releases.
