Considered a staple of one of Cobain’s iconic grunge looks, the sweater was originally estimated to nab between $40,000 and $60,000, but the final bid ended up blowing that number out of the water. With a stained left pocket and missing button, the sweater’s condition was a little questionable, but hey, hygiene has never stopped a super fan before.
