Paper Plate Kurt Cobain Ate Pizza Off One Time Sells For $33K At Auction

An extremely bizarre piece of Kurt Cobain memorabilia has just sold for a small fortune at auction.
Someone paid AUD $33,000 (USD $22,400) for a paper plate that the late Nirvana frontman once used to eat a slice of pizza off, and then scribble a setlist on.
The plate was utilised by Cobain shortly before taking the stage at Washington DC’s historic 9:30 Club on April 23rd, 1990.

PB = PB || {};
gptAds = PB.gptAds || {};
var opts = {“asBool”:false,”adUnit”:”/4403/ev/musicfeeds_intl/ros”,”adDiv”:”ros_300x250_p_slot7″,”sizeStr”:”[[300, 250]]”,”mapping”:[{“viewport”:”[0, 0]”,”sizes”:”[]”},{“viewport”:”[750, 0]”,”sizes”:”[[300, 250]]”},{“viewport”:”[980, 0]”,”sizes”:”[[300, 250]]”}],”targeting”:{“pos”:”P”,”content_detail”:”0″,”kw”:”in-article”,”coppa”:”0″,”site”:”musicfeeds_intl”},”resize”:false,”autoRefresh”:false};
PB.waitForAS = (opts.asBool) ? true : PB.waitForAS || false;

PB.evGPTBuilder.enqueueAd(opts);

PB = PB || {};
PB.gptStandAlone = PB.gptStandAlone || {};
PB.gptAutoRefresh = PB.gptAutoRefresh || {‘gptAds’:[], ‘gptStandAlone’:[]};

googletag.cmd.push(function() {
var standAloneSizeMapping = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([0, 0], [[300, 250]]).addSize([750, 0], []).addSize([980, 0], []).build(); PB.gptStandAlone[‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1558530324’] = googletag.defineSlot(‘/4403/ev/musicfeeds_intl/ros’, [[300, 250]], ‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1558530324’)
.defineSizeMapping(standAloneSizeMapping) .addService(googletag.pubads())
.setTargeting(‘pos’, ‘A’).setTargeting(‘content_detail’, ‘0’).setTargeting(‘kw’, ‘in-article-mobile’).setTargeting(‘coppa’, ‘0’).setTargeting(‘site’, ‘musicfeeds_intl’);
googletag.enableServices();
googletag.display(‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1558530324’);
googletag.pubads().refresh([PB.gptStandAlone[‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1558530324’]]);

});

Not only does it feature a setlist penned on it in black texta by Cobain’s own hand, it also comes with a “distinct pizza stain on the back,” according to a letter of authenticity provided by Johnny Riggs of the band THUD, who opened for Nirvana that night.
“That makes it more cool than just a piece of paper. It’s a lightly-stained pizza plate from Kurt’s own meal!” Riggs writes.
The paper plate went under the hammer at California’s Julien’s Auctions, where recently another piece of Nirvana history — an old sweater reportedly worn by Cobain during his last official photoshoot — sold for almost AUD $110,000 (USD $75,000) this past weekend.
