Amaya Toman It looks like the auction of artifacts in any way related to Steve Jobs has gone haywire. We recently you informed about the handwritten specification for the Apple-1 computer or about the very first computer from the Apple workshop. A copy of Macworld magazine from February 1984, signed by Apple's co-founder, is now up for auction.
Steve Jobs became famous, among other things, for his reluctance to give out autographs, which is why his signature is currently very valuable. He signed an auctioned copy of Macworld magazine Jobs at the grand opening of the iconic Apple Store on New York's Fifth Avenue on May 19, 2006. The front cover of the magazine, in addition to the signature itself, even bears a dedication to "Matt". Jobs poses with a trio of Macintosh computers on the cover. The condition of the magazine is listed as good.
The premiere edition of Macworld magazine is considered rare and desirable in its own right, with Jobs' signature adding significant collectible value. Its price at auction could reach up to ten thousand dollars. The authenticity of the signature is proven by photographs and a contemporary video recording of Jobs signing the magazine, the authenticity of the autograph was also verified by the Beckett and PSA/DNA services.
Also up for auction is heading business card of Steve Jobs as chairman of the board of directors of the then Apple Computer. The business card features the iconic bitten apple logo in rainbow colors and the address is 20525 Mariani Avenue, across from campus on Infinite Loop. Although there is no signature on the business card, it is still an attractive collector's item.
