nirvana unplugged lp cover

Julien’s Auctions massive Icons And Idols 2015 event is coming up on Saturday (Nov 7). Bidders can grab Beatles memorabilia like John Lennon’s long-lost original 1962 J-160E Gibson Acoustic Guitar,  PJs worn by Elvis Presley, scarves worn by Jimi Hendrix, and sunglasses belonging to the late Freddie Mercury. There’s even a lock of the late Kurt Cobain’s hair and the sweater he wore in 1993 for Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged album!

How do they find these items?

The cardigan was given by “a close friend of the family”  and is estimated to sell for $40,000-$60,000.

Cobain’s widow Courtney Love first gave a lock of hair to doll maker Dame Darcy when she commissioned a doll for daughter Frances. The strand up for auction was what remained. It’s expected to fetch between $8000-$10,000.
