A historical artifact from the tech world recently made waves in the auction scene, as a $4 cheque written by Apple co-founder Steve Jobs in 1976 fetched an impressive $36,850 at RR Auction in Boston. The cheque, drawn on an “Apple Computer Company” account, bears Jobs’ signature and contributes to the escalating market demand for his autographs and memorabilia.
This phenomenon isn’t isolated, as past auctions have seen Jobs’ autographs reaching substantial prices; a $9.18 cheque from 1976 sold for $55,000 the previous year. The allure of owning a piece of the visionary’s early financial transactions seems to captivate collectors and tech enthusiasts alike.
Beyond cheques, various items associated with Jobs have become sought-after treasures in the collector’s market. Notably, a job application and business cards linked to the iconic entrepreneur have commanded high prices, further emphasizing the enduring fascination with Steve Jobs and the profound impact he had on the technology industry. These auctions not only represent a financial investment but also serve as a testament to Jobs’ enduring legacy and the cultural significance of Apple’s early days.
