From time to time, we see some rare items related to Apple’s early days going up for auction. If you’re one of the people who collect such items, RR Auction is now auctioning off a rare business card signed by Steve Jobs – if you have a few thousand dollars to spend.
This particular card is from 1983, a year before Apple announced the first Macintosh. The name “Steven Jobs” is followed by his title as “Chairman Board of Directors.” The card was signed by Jobs in black ink and features Apple’s iconic rainbow logo. RR Auction certified the card as authentic despite “minor imperfections.”
RR Auction notes that Jobs was known for being “selective about signing memorabilia,” which makes signed items quite rare and desired by collectors. Of the 15 total Jobs business cards auctioned by the platform, only four date from this era, and only one was signed by Jobs. “This lot represents the second signed 1983 example and stands as one of a few Jobs-signed Apple business cards,” the platform says.
Bobby Livingston, Executive Vice President of RR Auction, notes that “Jobs’s signed business cards represent a direct connection to the founder of one of the most revolutionary companies in the world.”
The auction runs until February 20 and bids for the card signed by Jobs have already reached $75,000, with the next bid set at $82,500. According to RR Auction, bids are “steadily climbing” and exceeding their initial estimate.
On a related note, the platform is also auctioning off a replica SpaceX helmet signed by Elon Musk. The current bid for the replica stands at $2,338.
