Kurt Cobain’s Sweater From Nirvana’s ‘MTV Unplugged’ Is Up For Auction

The 1993 acoustic performance of the American rock band headed by singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain - Nirvana, was an iconic moment in the band's history.

As Nirvana's show on MTV's "Unplugged" got the audience mesmerized by the abundance of flowers littered around the stage. Where Dave Grohl (famous as the former drummer for the band Nirvana) looked tense as he donned a turtleneck, while the frontman of the band - Kurt Cobain, in the most stripped-down public performance he had ever done.

Kurt Donald Cobain, better known as Kurt Cobain, wore an olive cardigan on stage that night, where the lead singer bought the sweater at a thrift shop for five dollars. But, 22 years later, Kurt Cobain's same grungy sweater is being auctioned for at least $20,000.

It has been said that medium-sized Manhattan brand sweater of Cobain is missing one button, the sweater also has a burn hole and discoloration near both pockets, and as far as one can tell, it still smells like stale cigarette smoke.

However, the Manhattan brand sweater is an iconic artifact in rock history, and it is expected to sell for between $40,000 and $60,000, and the person who claims it, will receive a signed letter of authenticity from a "close friend of the Cobain family," who somehow got Kurt Cobain's cardigan.

In addition, the sweater of Kurt Cobain is just one of the random items that has a prominent attribute in L.A. - based auction house - Julien's Auction' "Icons and Idols 2015: Rock n' Roll" campaign. Other things which is up for grabs includes the King Of Pop's (Michael Jackson) "Thriller" dental mold, the credit card application of the most awarded female acts of all time in Guinness World Records - Whitney Houston.

Also, the items in the list for the auction, the drum head of the actor who earned global fame as the drummer for the Beatles - Ringo Starr, where he used it from the Beatles' "Ed Sullivan Show" performance. And the prescription for muscle relaxants of "the King of Rock and Roll" - Elvis Presley.
