Sticker | Wicadia (Gold) | Budapest 2025

This is a Gold autograph sticker for Wicadia representing team Aurora and tied to the StarLadder Budapest 2025 event. It is a capsule-released autograph, not a community or team-only print, and appears under Valve's designer credit for the set.

Gold sits at the very top of the finish ladder for this set, above paper, holo, foil and glitter. Within the Budapest 2025 lineup it is the premium film and reads immediately as the highest-tier finish when compared to the base versions.

Collectors chase Gold because it elevates the same signature into the rarest film tier available for the issue; the finish_rank places it above all standard films. That visual and supply separation from the base signature is what drives targeted demand among finish hunters.

This sticker is positioned in a mid-level market bracket according to its price_tier label, which means it sits well above budget base options but below grail-level outliers. For a collector that wants a standout Gold autograph without crossing into the rarest speculative territory, it occupies a pragmatic middle ground.

The autograph is Wicadia's and it carries Aurora team provenance intact. Full provenance on an autograph ties the ink, the design and the team together, and that provenance is a core part of why collectors value a signed copy.

The sticker commemorates StarLadder Budapest 2025 and is labeled to that event name exactly. Event provenance roots the sticker in a single release window and links it to the wider Budapest 2025 set identity.

This piece was released in the Budapest 2025 Challengers Autograph Capsule, meaning it belongs to the autograph capsule family from that event. Being capsule-released groups it with the other autographs and frames its supply as part of that capsule's issuance.

Applied stickers can be scraped thinner and are destroyed if removed, and every craft consumes a copy of the sticker, so clean stock only shrinks over time. Those mechanics are why condition and unapplied copies matter to collectors and crafters alike.

Rarity is labeled as Extraordinary and the sticker sits at the top rarity tier for the set. That rarity grade underpins its collector appeal and explains why this finish-signature combination is treated as a premium collectible within the lineup.

Gold autographs are chosen for crafts when the goal is a bold, unmistakable signature on a weapon; the finish reads clearly and sits well on glossy or dark canvases. Because this is an autograph, its placement ties the crafted finish to a named player, which often increases demand for carefully executed crafts.

This sticker is part of the StarLadder Budapest 2025 wave and belongs to the Budapest 2025 set era within the broader sticker timeline. Its release as a Gold autograph in that event's capsule places it among the later autograph releases that collectors track by event and capsule origin.
