Everyone is after a piece of Cobain, here are a number of items that have sold on ebay recently all have been Kurt's own personal belongings.
The cassette sold for over 3k us and the vhs tapes around 2k guitar pick 1000.
The vhs tapes are suppose to be in Kurt's handwriting although the date is around the wrong way for an American. The cassette is suppose to have recordings of Cobain on it. The guitar pick is meant to be used at Mtv 93 concert.
How on earth are you suppose to authenticate these items?

evidence? lmao its a picture of guitar pics that may be the same color. I am certain they made hundreds of thousands if not million in that color.
As a guitar player I can tell you that the wear on that guitar pic is unnatural. Did Kurt rub the tip on concrete for a few hours?
Looks like there are four picks in the photo of Kurt, yet that one pick looks like it's the only one the guitar player ever used in his life.
Exactly, that's a pic that would have been used for a couple of months, not one used for one show.
A Nirvana fans best bet is to get siguatures from Dave, Krist, Chad, and Pat, or anyone else associated with Nirvana and call it a day. Forget Kurt, the stuff heavily forged, very expensive, and very difficult to authenticate (since Kurt always signed differently).
Sure I'd love something signed by Ben Franklin but I don't have $20K. I can get something signed by his son for $400. Its still got the story and the association, and the Franklin name. Sometimes you just have to let certain things go.
I can't find an article to reference, but I'm (almost) positive that I heard a story that right before the unplugged taping, Kurt decided to play the set using a coin (a quarter, I assume) for a pic. He even gave one to Pat. Listening to the recording, I can hear it. So, I don't think I'm making it up.
This has no bearing on the authenticity issue. Just sharing a fanboy story. I'm sure the roadie hung the Dunlop Tortex .60mm as usual. But yeah, you can see the pic logos in the photo. I don't see how that'd get rubbed off in one show.
Said it before and I'll say it again, people looking for Cobain stuff need to give up. Huge fan of Nirvana, huge autograph collector, wouldn't touch Cobain stuff with a 10 ft pole. Unless of course there is photo proof of it, but in the majority of those cases, people want $50K or something ridiculous.
hey paul if you get the chance could you share your nirvana graphs with us
