Someone paid $75,000 for a cardigan worn by Kurt Cobain

The cardigan was used by Cobain during their In Utero photo session back in 1993. Rolling Stone reports that the cardigan more than doubled it's pre-auction estimate, which was between $10,000 and $20,000.

Offering a description of the item, Julien's Auctions said, "The shoot was meant to take place in Central Park in New York City, but due to Cobain being sick just hours before, the shoot was relocated to the basement of the hotel where the band was staying. Cobain showed up three hours late to the shoot and immediately asked for a bucket due to his nausea."
