A cardigan sweater, that happens to be missing a button, has a few “burn holes” and slight discoloration on its two pockets. is going up for auction and is expected to sell for north of $200,000.
Seems crazy - but that is becuase this is the cardigan that Kurt Cobain wore on November 18, 1993 - when Nirvana recorded their MTV Unplugged session

The sweater is part of Julien’s Auctions Icons & Idols: Rock ‘n’ Roll auction, which takes place October 25-26
The auction contains over 700 historical artifacts and memorabilia owned and used by some of the world's most important and influential music artists - including one of Kurt Cobain's custom Fender Mustang guitars, a motorcycle that belonged to Elvis Presley, and handwritten lyrics by Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton and Bruce Springsteen.

But the sweater expects to draw the largest bids - which includes a signed letter from Cobain family friend Jackie Farry, who’d obtained the sweater.
