How on earth do you authenticate these Kurt cobain items?

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?

The documentary Montage of heck has stirred the pot in the states. Everyone's out for a piece of Nirvana.

Its been that way for a pretty long time now. The 10th anniverary of Kurt's death and the unreleased song was huge over here in 2004.

A lot of the people growing up are seeing how terrible the current music scene is and looking back and saying "Wow Nirvana, I wish I had been around for that".

While I think there are some good relatively current stars (like Avril Lavigne started in 2002 and later I've liked Katy Perry), when I think of the mainstream trying to promote the likes of Justin Bieber as talented, I want to gag myself with a spoon. The 1980s and 1990s had some great music!

Sine we have been talking about unplugged and guitar picks, I found this on ebay signed by the guys who played the Mtv show, Lori Goldston, Pat, Dave, Krist and Kirkwoods.

What do you think? I think it looks effective the white marker and black guitar.

I'm sorry but if this guitar was shown to PSA/DNA it wouldn't pass.

Dan,

Joe Orlando of PSA/DNA said that all of their consultants are listed on their website and you are not one of them. They haven't heard of you. Can you explain that please?
