Kurt Cobain and Nirvana autographs from Antiquities - Authentic???

Hi everyone,

I have been DYING for an authentic/certified autograph piece of Kurt Cobain or Nirvana for my personal collection. The 2 attachments are from emails I have received recently from Antiquities of Las Vegas. One is a Kurt Cobain signed piece for $1450 and one is a Nirvana signed piece for $2300. I have been told that they both carry a lifetime guarantee from Antiquities and have been authenticated by a forensic examiner and come with that certfication as well. The Cobain piece was authenticated by Stephen Rocchi from GFA. I haven't inquired as to who authenticated the Nirvana piece. Before I do that I just want to see if you guys even think either of these are legit. Otherwise I won't even waste my time.

The prices seem super low for guaranteed and authenticated pieces. That makes me think they could be questionable. Also, I saw that Antiquities is not held in the most esteemed regard by searing this forum. If not for those 2 things I would probably have already bought one as the assurances they provide seem very solid.

Please chime in with your opinions. Thank you.

This is a very believable complaint about Antiquities on Ripoff Report from May 2015:

I would advise you Daniel. Don't do it! Check out what Mr Booth has to offer. Theres not much Nirvana out there and most are forgeries!

Just one more thought on Antiquities that I failed to post in my earlier response on this thread.

Toby Stoffa, the owner as many of you know has told me directly that her rent at Caesars Palace...The Forum Shops...is the equivalent of the cost of a small BMW on a monthly basis.

I suppose they have to pay this rent by hook....or by crook...

I would demand that Colonel Myron Ross takes a look.

Antiquities and GFA seem to be among the dirtiest names in the hobby right now.

I spent some time in Antiquities in Fisherman's Warf in San Francisco in August and took this photo of this guitar they claimed was signed by Nirvana. Click for a large version:
