LOL It was pretty close, which ain't easy. Cobain used the weirdest shit, like he raided a pawn shop or something.
Some 20 years ago, my bandmate and I were in a pawn shop in Tacoma. The owner recognized us and we started talking about all things music. After a while he said, "Check this out." He opened his safe where he had a receipt book. He flipped through it and showed us a signed receipt where Cobain had purchased some equipment there. He said, "That's my retirement."
LOL Dunno if it's worth all that much, but I am entirely unsurprised to find out that he bought gear at a pawn shop. I'm not even a wee bit surprised.
I don't know how many autographs he passed out during his lifetime, but I think his personal beliefs (as well as his persona) limited that, so maybe not many.
And from what I've learned from ebay, it just take two idiots with a lot of money that both want it.
