Kurt Cobain handwritten setlist

Hi,
I found a collector of objects of rock history.
In his collection, he has a set list written by the hand of Kurt Cobain.
It has pa at all the sale but I like to know your opinion on its authenticity.
Thanks

This could be authentic. The writing has similar characteristic of Kurt Cobain's writings.

Needs the provenance and research on it.

Thanks you for your reply. It also seems genuine but I'd rather have your opinion. I'll get back to the collector asking its history

Agree looks like a Cobain handwriting. Doesn't look like a full concert set list.

There is no stress to the ink at all, if it were written 20 years ago, then crumpled there would be stress to the ink as the fibers of the paper broke apart and over time from handling and what not the crowns of the creases would have worn leaving a lot of white showing through. Further more there is no age to this in my opinion. It looks like it was crumpled into a little ball intentionally just yesterday and if someone had this for 20 years wouldn't in not be flat? It's barely flattened out and by now someone would have had it flattened out with a book or something. It is still bunched up. I also I can't image why that would ever happen (crumpling, if not the simulate artificial age). Nor can I imagine why, if they played a 4-5 song set, they would even need a set list at all especially at the time that these songs were written and being played. While I do see that the U's are like his U's everything else is very subjective. I can make you a dozen just like this, it's not hard at all to match writing like his so I'd say clear of this.
