Signed Check From Steve Jobs Goes Up For Auction, And It’s Pricey – SlashGear

There is a burgeoning market for memorabilia linked to Apple and its co-founder Steve Jobs. Recent history has several instances of Apple/Jobs-related items selling for crazy sums of money. Recent examples include the much-talked-about auction for an unboxed, original, first-gen iPhone purchased — and then unboxed — by noted tech YouTuber MKBHD.

Last year, it was also reported that someone purchased a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) from an early Apple-1 prototype for an astounding $677,196. While that is certainly a crazy sum of money to spend for unusable, broken hardware, the fact that the Apple-1 was a crucial product in Apple’s history might have been a good enough justification for shelling out that kind of money. Besides, this particular PCB was also notable because it was hand-soldered by Steve Wozniak, the famous co-founder of Apple.

Later, in November 2022, a pair of worn-out Birkenstock sandals once owned by Steve Jobs was lapped up by someone for $218,750. Steve Jobs wore these sandals for a long time throughout the ’70s and the ’80s. It is also said to have witnessed the birth of the now-iconic Apple company in 1976.

Given the insane amount of money people are willing to spend on pieces of Apple memorabilia, there is a good chance that this old check from Apple may also end up with an insanely high bid amount.
