Items signed by
Apple
founder
Steve Jobs
have previously been sold for huge amounts of money. According to a report by AppleInsider, Boston-based
RR Auction
has claimed that a rare Apple Computer
business card
signed by Jobs was recently sold for $181,183 at an auction.
The listing of the "Steve Jobs and the Apple Computer Revolution" auction noted that the business card from 1983 has been authenticated by popular memorabilia grading service PSA.
The card features the Cupertino-based tech giant's old six-colour logo. The card also listed the company's former address of 10495 Bandley Drive, in Cupertino, California.
In this card, Jobs was mentioned as the Chairman of Apple's Board of Directors. RR Auction claims that this sale has set a new record-high price for a signed business card.
Other items sold at the auction
Apart from the card, the auction also featured other items that included multiple Steve Jobs autographed items. These items were from the early days of computing and video games. However, the business card fetched the highest price in the auction.
The auction also sold a check signed by Steve Jobs, dated July 8, 1976, and it was payable to
Pacific Telephone
. The check was sent from the address "770 Welch Rd., Ste. 154, Palo Alto," which was the first official address of Apple and was sold for $66,069.
