Other items signed by Jobs that fetched hefty sums include an offer of employment ($17,700), a check ($176,000), and a movie ticket stub ($14,600).
Although Apple co-founder Steve Jobs died more than a decade ago, his presence still looms large in the fandom around tech, making ordinary items that are signed by him very valuable. The proof is in the pudding: An early Apple business card signed by Jobs just sold for $181,183 at auction.
The address included on the check is that of the famous “Apple Garage” in Palo Alto, which is where legend states the company was founded. All items signed by Jobs, as well as a business card from the 1980s and a promotional poster that were unsigned, were sold. While the Jobs-related items were in many cases predictable, there were some that appeared to be random until you got the full story.
