Nirvana Autographs Go For $10,000 — Angel’s Rock Report

Would you pay more than $10,000 for an album autographed by the members of Nirvana? One true fan recently did.  Diffuser.FM reports that it happened on eBay, where a package that included a Nevermind CD sleeve signed by Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl, a letter of authenticity and ticket stubs from a few of the band's concerts finally found a new home.
