Memorabilia collectors are usually sent into a frenzy whenever Kurt Cobain's instruments hit the auction block, but those who aren't after guitars will now have a chance to own the Nirvana frontman's Blockbuster Video card.

The card, which you can see above, was issued to Cobain by the Blockbuster location at 1508 North Orange Grove Ave. in Los Angeles, though of course the chain and store are no longer operating. The bidding opens at $100 USD, with further details available here.

The item arrives as part of the Julien's Live "Icons And Idols – Rock 'N' Roll" auction, which also includes handwritten notes, letters, and the band's MTV Moonman statuette won for Best New Artist in a Video with "Smells Like Teen Spirit." You can find the complete lot of Nirvana items here.
