One of reggae legend Peter Tosh's family members totally sold him out -- unloading a couple of treasured pieces of memorabilia to a pawn shop ..
The late singer's 1987 Grammy now belongs to Dylan McDermitt of LBC Pawn in Somerville, MA. McDermitt says a Tosh family member came into his store about 5 months ago, looking to unload the Grammy for Best Reggae Recording and one of Peter's Martin acoustic guitars.
McDermitt jumped at the opportunity and snatched the Grammy for $4k and the guitar for $2k more. He hinted the relative -- whose name he doesn't want to reveal -- was hocking the items due to a family battle over Tosh's estate.
The OG Wailer did not have a will when he was shot and killed in 1987.
If you're interested in the Tosh gear -- McDermitt estimates the guitar's worth about $15k, and $20k for the Grammy ... but it's a pawn shop. Everything's negotiable.
