Whoa, $2500 It must be the pending Captain America movie hype. Ha. Damn I wish we know about that or they put vintage in the title, it might have gone even higher.

Another Cobain worn tee. Story seems believable enough - but of course if this were Pawn Stars they would bring in that slick handwriting expert to verify.

I dont know man the handwriting looks kind of different and the duck looks like he's got a day-glo beak instead of yellow blah blah blah... yeah this really needs the pawn stars guy.

Good eye. The day glow thing could have been filtered out in post production to balance the photo for print. Pink on his hawk and shoes are day glow too. But yeah, strange there isn't a close-up of just the writing. I'm gonna ask for one. Still will be hard to compare when the photo of the original is shot on an angle and skewed by Kurt's chest.

Seller has updated with close-ups! I spoke with him, he wanted to try to prevent anyone from copying it - so that's why he was holding them back.

The Defunkd forensics department has blown-up the high-res photograph of Kurt wearing the t-shirt (right) and sharpened the image for your viewing pleasure.

The t-shirt on the left is the t-shirt for sale.

Here is a bigger version of the side-by-side comparison:

Sorry....apparently that's the original listing...buyer never paid for it.

If the buyer had paid...the $14,900.00 selling price would have topped the $10K paid a while back for the 1979 Zeppelin Kenbworth.
