Hi Scott,

I used to collect Sports Autographs but have switched over to Presidential. When I saw this Stonewall Letter, I knew I had to have it at that price. I feel bad for the person who purchased it since the auction house tacks on a 25% Premium on top of the $18k hammer price.

But if you can afford $18k, what's another $4500.00. Probably chump change for them.

The most cash I ever paid was for this Nirvana signed Zildjian Crash Cymbal from 1991. The owner of this cymbal had this piece for more than 21 years. I have been trying to buy it from him since I saw it many years ago. Suddenly I got a call from him one day last year that he is ready to part with it. Met him at a Beverly Hills pawn shop with the cash to pick it up. My pride and joy in my Nirvana collection. :)

That may be the best Nirvana piece I've ever seen!

Yeah, its cool, it would be better if it were a stage used cymbal.

We know for a fact that Dave Grohl used Zildjian cymbals when he was playing with Nirvana. And he is now an official Zildjian spokesman with Foo Fighter.
I am still doing research and on the provenance on whether this was actually a stage used cymbal by Dave Grohl. Will keep you update. :)

I've got nothing that really compares to this stuff (in price or stature). I wanna say the most I've spent on a single autograph was probably $50 for Christopher Lloyd at a convention.

Nothing too crazy, but I generally shop deals. Even my dual signed Adam West & Burt Ward photo ended up only costing me ~$60 for the pair.
