As I'm not too well-learned on Nirvana, I'll just give a general observation:  It seems to be especially hard to find anything authentic on ioffer.com.  This would probably be up there with Craigslist as one of the more unlikely places to find an authentic Nirvana autograph set.

Actually, upon further review, this appears to be from popculturessignatures, a pretty notorious seller of music forgeries.  I would further suggest that on that basis alone, this has no chance of being real.

How did you find that out? He's adamant it's real and he got it signed himself

Yeah, Jim Falkenstern.  He says he gets everything himself.  I suppose if he's signing the items himself, that might count as getting it himself :)

He's been trying to peddle this gem for years.  If these forgeries were ten times better, they still wouldn't be even close:

Lee,

Dont be fooled. Rich is correct, this is an ugly Nirvana forgery.

Wow,

The forger didnt even try and switch up the K style between Kurt and Krist. They K's are carbon copies of each other. Definetly penned by the same hand.
