Lil Durk and King Von
Hip-Hop Artists and OTF Collective Founders · Music - Hip-Hop
Only The Family (OTF)
Era
Circa 2018-2020
Item Type
Custom fan-made trading card
Condition
Excellent - The item appears well-preserved in a plastic top-loader with no visible fading or wear.
Rarity
Signatures on this specific medium are rare, but authentic King Von signatures are limited due to his passing in 2020.
Overall Assessment
This is a custom 'art card' with signatures that mimic the artists' styles but lack the forensic characteristics of authentic ink. Likely a novelty item rather than a genuine dual-signed investment piece.
Authenticity Assessment
Questionable - several concerns noted. Confidence level: Low.
Signature Style
Block-letter printing for Von; cursive-style scrawl for Durk. The signatures are oddly uniform and fit perfectly within the designated boxes of a fan-made card.
Signature Characteristics
The handwriting shows signs of hesitation. The 'King Von' signature is overly deliberate, while the 'Lil Durk' signature lacks his typical fluid upward slant.
Ink & Medium
Black felt-tip marker or fine-point Sharpie on a printed custom card surface.
Item Description
A '1/1' custom 'Only The Family' art card featuring Lil Durk and King Von with designated 'Artist Signature' boxes at the bottom.
Estimated Value
$20 - $50 (Value primarily as a novelty art piece, not as authenticated memorabilia)
Comparison to Known Examples
The signatures appear more like 'reproduced' versions of known autographs rather than organic signings. The placement is suspiciously perfect for a custom-made card.
Authentication Tips
Look for natural flow and variance in 'King Von' signatures, which are frequently faked. Compare the 'Lil Durk' signature to known T-Series or official merchandise autograph examples.
Certification Recommendation
Beckett Authentication Services (BAS) or JSA (James Spence Authentication).
Red Flags
The item is a custom, non-licensed card. The '1/1' designation is often used by aftermarket creators to inflate perceived value. King Von's signature is a high-risk forgeries target.
Provenance Notes
No paperwork or photo proof of the signing event is provided. Essential for high-risk contemporary rap autographs.
Historical Context
OTF (Only The Family) represents the Chicago drill music movement of the late 2010s. King Von's career was short-lived but highly influential before his death in November 2020.
Market Trends
Demand for King Von memorabilia remains high post-humously; Lil Durk remains a top-tier active market performer.
Investment Potential
Low - Custom/fan-made items rarely hold value compared to official releases unless authenticated by a top-tier service.
Similar Autographs
Chief Keef, 21 Savage, Young Thug signed items.
Display & Preservation
Keep in a UV-protected magnetic one-touch holder to prevent ink fading.
Interesting Facts
King Von was known to sign very few items professionally; most authentic examples come from early promotional tours or meet-and-greets.
