Sticker | StarLadder (Embroidered) | Budapest 2025

This is an Embroidered event sticker for StarLadder Budapest 2025, an officially released design by Valve labeled as a Remarkable rarity. It is not an autograph or team sticker - it's the event-branded StarLadder piece rendered in the stitched Embroidered film.

Embroidered sits in the special finish tier above the usual Paper/Holo/Foil ladder for the set; think of it as the top ornamental film used alongside Glitter and Gold in other lines. Within the capsule's finish hierarchy it occupies the specialty slot that collectors treat as distinct from the base paper and standard premium films.

Collectors prize the Embroidered finish for its tactile, stitch-like look and the way it reads on crafted weapons - it's a visibly different film from the paper original. The finish_rank labels it as special, which is what drives interest relative to the base StarLadder design rather than any numerical scarcity claim.

This sticker is tied to StarLadder Budapest 2025 and carries that event provenance on its face. Event provenance matters because it places the piece within the capsule and release that produced it, which collectors use when grouping sets and builds.

It was released in the Budapest 2025 Legends Sticker Capsule, so it shares a run with the other StarLadder event pieces from that capsule. Being from that capsule frames its siblings and the overall supply profile collectors watch when assembling sets.

Once you apply a sticker to a weapon you can scrape it thinner, and removing it destroys the sticker completely; every craft also consumes a copy. Clean, unapplied stock only gets thinner as items are applied or used for crafting, so the available supply of intact embroidered copies declines over time.

This piece carries a Remarkable rarity and the label places it in a mid rarity_tier within the sticker grades hierarchy. That mid-level standing underpins how often intact copies appear compared with common or high-end graded pieces from other capsules.

Embroidered films read differently on textured weapon finishes, which is why collectors test placement and orientation carefully before committing a craft. The stitched look pairs well with aggressive positioning and can lift a play-side or highlight a focal panel in a way paper versions do not, feeding demand for well-executed crafts.

As an item released for StarLadder Budapest 2025 and designed by Valve, this sticker falls into the modern event capsule era that emphasizes specialty finishes alongside standard films. Its release context shapes collector expectations: embroidered finishes from recent event capsules are treated as distinct collectibles within the ongoing sticker catalogue.
