TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - A signed credit card of Kurt Cobain, the vocalist of legendary rock band Nirvana is up for online auction on Paddle8’s Legendary: Memorabilia From Rock Gods and Pop Stars Auction’. It is the highest selling collection so far with highest bid reaching US$16,600 or equal to Rp2,134.4 million from initial offer of US$7,000.
The Visa credit card has Cobain’s signature in blue ink with his phone number scribbled on the back. Seattle Seafirst Bank that issued the card had incorporated into Bank of America in 2000 and no longer exists.
Alongside Cobain’s credit card in the auction are memorabilia from legendary celebrities such as Frank Sinatra’s driver license worth US$7,000, a signed check from Jim Morrison and a handwritten set-list by U2.
Cobain committed suicide on April 5, 1994. He was 27. The auction comes on the heels of what would have been Cobain's 48th birthday on February 20.
A much-anticipated documentary about the grunge legend, ‘Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck’, will premiere in May. It is being executive produced by Cobain's daughter, Frances Bean.
