For $25,000 It Better Still Smell Like Teen Spirit

When I first started picking and thrifting in 2004 I passed over a lot of Nirvana tees because they seemed like a dime a dozen. I estimated it would take at least another decade before the shirts really had any value .

By 2010, several Nirvana tees had already made our list of the highest fetching t-shirt auctions. The top two Sub-Pop shirts above, “ Two Virgins ” and Kurt, Krist, and Chad  each sold for a cool $1000 each.

Fast forward to 2021, a decade-plus later Nirvana tees continue to surge.

What are the Most Expensive Vintage Nirvana T-Shirts?

To figure this out we thoroughly scanned through historic eBay and auction house sales records as well as consulted with a Nirvana t-shirt expert.

Vintage 1994 Kurt Cobain Stage-Worn Sonic Youth T-Shirt $25,000

Ok, so this is technically not a Nirvana t-shirt, but it was worn by Kurt Cobain on stage during a Nirvana performance at Terminal 1 in Munich, Germany, on March 1, 1994. This sold from a respected auction house back in 2014 and didn’t make as big of a news splash as it should have. The t-shirt was accompanied by a couple of letters that vouch for its unique provenance. The promoter of the show explained that Cobain had left the tee in his dressing room and he attempted to return it but Kurt had no interest in taking it back. I was recently in touch with the auction house and confirmed with them that the sale transpired , so to our knowledge, this is the most expensive performer-worn, stage-worn t-shirt given it trumps the recent Pigpen shirt that fetched $21,420 .

Vintage 1991 Nirvana Nevermind Riverman U.K. Tour Longsleeve T-Shirt $12,100

One of the longsleeved, double-sided, double arm-printed tees above, was sold privately in 2020.  I confirmed the sale for $12,100.00 USD. Both tees pictured were originally owned by Tony D. who worked at Riverman Management and was directly involved in the Nevermind UK Tour.

Only 70, possibly fewer, were made.

In 2019, the same print sold for $3301 on eBay. It wasn’t in as good condition but it too had some interesting provenance. It was reportedly acquired from a house owned by Ian Beveridge, the Monitor Engineer for Nirvana, Green Day, The Cure, and others.

Vintage Nirvana Canadian Heart-Shaped Box $8500

Credit: Cloaked in Black

This t-shirt made waves when it sold in 2021 for $8500 by arcinthesky , aka Cloaked in Black. It’s reported to be the lesser common Canadian version of the Heart-Shaped All-Over-Print, this one features the same graphics but is contained in a heart on the front and rear – along with the Backstage Pass branding at the bottom of the print.

Vintage Sub-Pop Kurt, Krist, and Chad T-Shirt $8500

Credit: Instagram/rannataraoaoa Hikki Vintage

This tee was recently purchased by a collector in Japan. Based on this tee’s value in 2010, that’s a 750% increase. Not a bad return.

  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by BIDSTITCH (@bidstitch)

The collector, Hikki, who showcases his collection via the IG account rannataraoaoa , told Bidstitch that he’s spent in excess of $60,000 on vintage Nirvana tees. If you scroll through his posts, you’re bound to discover a few prints you’ve never seen before, and given the sheer quantity he owns – $60k doesn’t seem far-fetched.

Vintage Nirvana Sub-Pop Bleach T-Shirt $7000

“Bleach shirts are rarely on the market. This shirt is XL with Oneita tag . It’s the perfect condition,” Hikki explained.

Vintage Nirvana In Utero Crew T-Shirt $6987

This print was made exclusively for crew members on what ended up being Nirvana’s final tour. It was meant to commemorate and celebrate the sold-out shows. Provenance-wise, one surfaced on eBay years ago compliments of a seller who said it came from Cobain’s bodyguard. It was put on sale by Stormcrow-Vintage, the same GOAT who sold the Led Zeppelin t-shirt for $10,000 . We’ve been unable to confirm if it sold for $7k, but Hikki suspects it would bring in a similar price in today’s market, though he still isn’t certain on the origin of the figure featured on the shirt. “Do you know anything about the character on this t-shirt?” he asked. If you do, please get in touch with him.

Another one of these tees (below) sold for $3600 on eBay and the seller described the shirt as being from an Aragon Ballroom show in Chicago in 1993.

BTW, this is likely the most expensive mullet t-shirt in existence, given the front features a small chest print, and even a pocket.

Vintage 1989 Nirvana & Mudhoney Lamefest U.K. T-Shirt $4051.00

Sure, this isn’t strictly a Nirvana tee given it’s for a festival and includes Mudhoney and Tad, but we think it still qualifies. It caused a bidding frenzy on eBay and closed out at over $4k USD . According to the listing it was “Only sold at 1 show at a London Gig in Astoria 12/3/1989,” and as to its provenance , “Belonged to the former manager of the band Mudhoney.”

Vintage Nirvana In Utero Long Sleeve Waffle Crew T-Shirt $3200

This fairly simply long sleeve olive thermal style t-shirt with embroidery fetched a decent chunk of change on eBay – it is was only produced in small quantities and given to the crew staff.

Vintage 1993 Nirvana Heart-Shaped Box AOP T-Shirt $2000

This one is old news. Its value has been inflated since Justin Bieber made it famous in 2015. Then several other celebrities gave it a bump in the years that followed. It’s still fetching $2000+ , not bad for an all-over print band tee especially since AOPs were considered mids throughout the 2000s.

Vintage 1993 Nirvana In Utero World Tour $1587

This lessor scene In Utero World Tour 93-94 tee boasts Kalamazoo as one of its stops.

Vintage 1992 Nirvana Nevermind Australia Tour T-Shirt $1500

Recently this Nevermind tee with the Australia tour dates on the back fetched close to $1500 USD , on two different occasions. It’s roughly three times more valuable than the more common version with the playlist on the rear.

Vintage 1989 Trashed Nirvana Sub Pop Hanes Tag T-Shirt $1200

Oh, the stories this t-shirt could tell. Even in terrible condition, with an 80s Hanes tag holding on for dear life, this Nirvana tee still performed well. This GRUNGE-worthy beauty still managed to pull in $1200. Hopefully, it now lives a peaceful life in a frame, on the wall, in a nice home, in suburbia. What would the price tag be if it was in decent shape? It might very will top this list.

Vintage Nirvana John & Yoko Sub-Pop Two Virgins T-Shirt $1000

Surprisingly, the t-shirt above was recently auctioned on eBay and only sold for $330 USD . Based on its 2010 value it took a dive in the form of 67%. Ouch. Perhaps an anomaly as it typically sells in the $1000 range. On Instagram @ bjmo1111 suggested it’s a forgery, and given it’s a one-color print and a sought-after t-shirt, it would be a prime target by counterfeiters. Unfortunately, when fakes of a print start circulating, the value of the original ones take a big hit. Not only because buyers get taken out of the market, but the market also gets gently flooded too. Sadly, buyers even begin to avoid the authentic ones due to authenticity uncertainty.

Honorable Mentions

We felt it essential to include Nirvana tees with a value that hasn’t been determined – due to scarcity. If you own one you think might qualify for this list, please get in touch with us .

Vintage Sonic Youth Nirvana T-Shirt

This gem was presented to us by @bulletholevintage . “I got it off the original owner who purchased it at the Palladium in August ‘90, iirc. You can’t even find other pics of an original online – they’re all mine. No one I know has seen one before. It’s the only ‘nirvana’ shirt (design) Kurt ever wore on stage.”

Vintage Red Hot Chili Peppers Nirvana Pearl Jam New Year 91/92 T-Shirt

This one was also provided to us by @bulletholevintage . Though not as rare as the Sonic combo – it definitely deserves a place somewhere on this list. Problem is, they don’t ever come up for sale. Three of them landed on eBay in 2016 and each one only fetched around $40. Someone got one hell of a deal.

BTW, Bullet Hole made it clear that neither is for sale, so we’ve reached out to Hikki for his thoughts on an appraisal.

John & Yoko NFTee

The same print recently became the first Nirvana t-shirt to be offered via the blockchain . Listed on Opensea by Bidstitch , the purchase price includes a digital representation of the shirt as an NFT and the buyer gets the physical t-shirt too. The item is currently open for offers, with the highest one to date being roughly $1200 USD (by us!).

The listing states the t-shirt has some impressive provenance:

“Nirvana’s infamous “Two Virgins” Promo tee. Purchased at Maxwell’s in Hoboken, New Jersey in 1990 directly from bassist and Nirvana founding member, Krist Novoselic. The NFT features the iconic imagery with Sub Pop’s Co-Founders Bruce Pavitt and Jonathan Poneman superimposed on the bodies of John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

The “Two Virgins” photoshoot by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz served as the original source for the now infamous parody tee by the band. Artistry and a healthy dose of meta-level absurdity have taken Nirvana, and their earliest merchandise to skyrocket in value.”

We’ll keep you posted if it ever sells.

Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love lie in bed with their baby daughter, Frances Bean, in September 1992.

Unseen photos show a day in the life of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love

Photographs by Guzman Story by Kyle Almond Published April 5, 2024

They were greeted at the front door by rock star Courtney Love, who welcomed them into the Los Angeles home she shared with her husband, Kurt Cobain.

She offered coffee and a slice of “just delivered” guava pie.

Photographers Constance Hansen and Russell Peacock politely declined, eager to get to work. They were on assignment for Spin magazine, which was doing a cover story on the famous couple.

Love showed them around the house, a modest three-bedroom Craftsman in the Hollywood Heights neighborhood, as they waited for Cobain to come downstairs.

He never came down.

So instead, they went up to him.

When they got to Cobain’s room, they found the Nirvana frontman still in bed.

They introduced themselves and asked him if it was OK to take pictures. He nodded. He seemed unfazed by the whole thing. Meeting strangers in bed? No big deal, it seemed.

“Thirty years later, we thought, well maybe that was the whole plan all along. Because he was wearing this fancy robe, and that’s not something he would ever wear normally,” said Peacock, who along with Hansen forms the photography duo known simply as Guzman .

The photos that followed would come to be known as some of Cobain’s most famous. And a soon-to-be-released book, “Family Values: Kurt, Courtney & Frances Bean,” includes nearly 100 photos from the day, most of which have never been published.

These photos were taken in September 1992, a year after the album “Nevermind” launched Nirvana — and Cobain — into superstardom. But over that time there were some personal struggles.

Cobain was in rehab for heroin addiction earlier in the month, and he had checked into a hospital a month before that to detox, according to Nirvana biographer Michael Azerrad, who wrote the photo book’s introduction. A story in Vanity Fair magazine, released weeks before this photo session, didn’t paint the couple in the greatest light, and they were fighting for custody of their newborn daughter, Frances Bean. When Hansen and Peacock visited their home, there was a court-mandated nanny there.

The Spin magazine story gave the rock stars a chance to reframe the narrative.

When Hansen and Peacock were first given the assignment, they came up with a fun premise they thought they might try at first.

“We were going to (show) them homemaking, doing domestic chores and things like that,” Hansen remembers. “We were laughing on the way out (to Los Angeles). We were like, yeah, they’ll be mowing the lawn or ironing or cooking.”

Soon after arriving to the house, they quickly realized that wouldn’t be the vibe. They followed their subjects’ lead, and it all started with Cobain in bed.

It worked out for the best.

“Photographing someone in bed is great, because they’re vulnerable and it’s very personal,” Peacock said.

The duo took photos of Cobain and his room, which he said he was fine with. But he was never as comfortable in front of the camera as his wife was.

A short while later, Love came up with their baby girl and everything changed.

“Having the baby there made a big difference, I think. It made him more open,” Peacock said. “And so it was kind of fortuitous to have the baby there. We kind of joked like, wow, we should bring babies on more shoots because they open people up.”

Now the entire family was in bed together, and Hansen remembers how beautiful it was to see everyone in sync. “They just were loving Frances. It was really so apparent,” she said. “It was really about her. They were oblivious to us in a lot of cases, anytime they had the baby.”

Eventually, everyone would come back downstairs for more photos, including individual portraits for both Cobain and Love.

At one point, Cobain grabbed a marker and began writing the words “family values” on his wife’s stomach. At the time in 1992, “family values” was also a campaign theme for the Republican Party going into November’s election.

“We just went with it. We didn’t know (what it meant),” Hansen said.

On his own stomach, Cobain wrote “diet grrrl,” a play on words with the feminist punk movement “riot grrrl.”

Hansen and Peacock spent a few hours taking photos for what is now known among music fans as the “family values” story. They often took photos simultaneously, and they used many different types of cameras and setups to get a variety of looks. Some are more polished and posed. Others are more gritty and spontaneous.

When the story was published by Spin, only a few images were included. The rest were tucked away in storage. Recently, friends from the LABspace gallery in New York asked Hansen and Peacock about that day and wanted to see more. The photos were exhibited at the gallery before becoming a book.

Many people remember the Spin article and tell the photographers that they had it on their wall when they were growing up.

“We didn’t realize the effect that those pictures had,” Hansen said.

The photos are now especially poignant because of Cobain’s tragic suicide.

Thirty years ago, in April 1994, Cobain took his own life at the age of 27. It was a shocking story that shook a generation of music fans.

“He was an extraordinary musician and lyricist,” Hansen said. “He was really different, too. He took it to another level. He wasn’t derivative, He was just really special.”

Peacock said Cobain and Nirvana came at the perfect time, ushering in rock’s grunge era.

“The timing was just right for that music, and it embedded itself in the culture like the Beatles or the Rolling Stones,” he said.

After Cobain died, Hansen and Peacock sent a few snapshots of him to Love at her request. They would later work with her on an album cover for her band Hole.

They’re looking forward to going on the book tour later this year, to hear more about how Cobain and Nirvana impacted lives. “Their music still resonates with people,” Peacock said. “We were in a coffee shop a couple weeks ago and there’s a young girl in a Nirvana T-shirt. It’s interesting.”

Working on the book has made the photographers think deeper about the Spin assignment and what might have been going on beneath the surface.

“I think there was a lot of vulnerability in the house at that moment,” Peacock said. “I didn’t think about it at the time, but looking back, everything swirling around them, it must have been very intense to be so successful so quickly and struggle with that. Looking back, that feeling is there.”
