Sticker | ultimate (Embroidered) | Budapest 2025

This is an Embroidered autograph of player ultimate representing Team Liquid, issued for StarLadder Budapest 2025 and packaged in the Budapest 2025 Challengers Autograph Capsule. The sticker carries Valve design credit and the released identity sits on the official sticker title, so you are looking at a true event autograph rather than a community or team-only decal.

Embroidered sits in the special tier above the standard paper and the set's holographic and foil films, occupying the top ornamental rung for collectors who prize textile textures. Compared with paper and holo variants it reads as a distinct class of finish rather than a mere visual alternative, which is why embroidered pieces are handled like special collectibles when they surface.

This sticker is categorized in the budget price tier while still carrying mid rarity, which positions it as an accessible special finish for collectors who want embroidered without chasing high-end grails. That bracket means it will show up in collections that want the aesthetic and provenance without requiring premium-level commitment.

The sticker is tied to StarLadder Budapest 2025, and the capsule name reflects that event directly via the Budapest 2025 Challengers Autograph Capsule. Event provenance matters because the capsule identity is how Valve fixed the run and how collectors trace a sticker's origin when comparing printings.

Supply is permanently fixed by the capsule run for StarLadder Budapest 2025; once the Budapest 2025 Challengers Autograph Capsule stopped dropping, no new clean stock was created. That fixed print is what makes condition and surviving unopened stock the only sources of new clean copies over time.

An applied sticker has been glued to a weapon and cannot be detached without destroying the sticker or the skin, so any applied copy is functionally different from an unapplied one. Collectors pay attention to unapplied examples because they preserve the embroidered fabric, the backing, and the option to craft or hold the item untouched.

For collectors the combination of an embroidered finish, a full-provenance autograph of ultimate, and a mid-tier rarity creates a sensible long-term hold: it ticks the boxes of finish interest and event linkage while remaining approachable. Those elements together make it a natural pick for someone building a display or aiming for a varied finish set without stretching into grail territory.

Embroidered signatures sit differently on weapons than printed films; the stitched texture reads especially well on larger canvases and on certain finishes where the thread contrasts with base patterns. That tactile presence encourages crafts and display uses that, in turn, keep demand steady among builders who prefer tangible finishes over flat foils.

When buying look specifically for an unapplied, clean copy in good condition and confirm the finish reads as embroidered rather than a printed imitation. The live price block on the page shows current market listings and is where you should check the market level before committing to a purchase.
