Nirvana: a band-signed 'Nevermind' CD insert, with the autographs in black ink of Kurt Cobain (1967-1994), Dave Grohl (b.1969) and Krist Novoselic (b.1965), with 'additions' made to the swimming baby's face, giving him hair and a beard (probably in Cobain's hand, given the ink colour, which matches his signature). Also included is a ticket stub from a 1991 Nirvana show, held on October 20th at 'The Vatican, Washington'. CD or outer case not present. From the estate of the late Franz-Peter Bach, a German autograph collector of many years. He began collecting in the 1980s, from following music tours in Germany, as well as attending swap meets in Hanover, where as well as exchanging autographs, he was given addresses of celebrities, who he would then write to directly for signatures. His collection was meticulously collated, mostly in albums, and added to over many years. Authenticated prior to the sale by Adam Andrusier. Collated in a presentation album by Mr Bach, with tipped in photograph on opposing page. Following the sale, the autograph(s) will be removed and paired with the photograph, ready for collection / shipping.
