A check signed in 1976 by Steve Jobs, the legendary CEO of the US-based technology giant Apple, and Steve Wozniak, who was his partner at that time, was put up for sale at auction. This check doesn’t matter when viewed as a “check”. However, because of the memory of Steve Jobs, it is cared for by people.
What makes the check signed by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak special is that it is the second check in Apple history. So much so that at the time the check was signed, Apple was still in the establishment phase and there was no official company called Apple. Two software developers gave this check to a circuit board company and laid the foundation for Apple computers. Officials think that the check, which has already received 18 bids, will be valued more towards the end of the auction.
Here is that check that was put up for auction:
We just said that the check that is put up for auction doesn’t really matter as a “check”. Really it is. If you examine the screenshot above, we see that Steve Jobs and his partner paid only 116 dollars and 97 cents with this check. However, this check, which was once worth a little more than a hundred dollars, is currently $ 55,527. The next amount will be $61,080, according to information on the website of the auction house RR Auction. On August 25, the new owner of the check will be officially announced.
55 thousand dollars is not a record for a check signed by Steve Jobs!
Checks signed by Steve Jobs are frequently auctioned. In this context; $106,985 was paid for a check auctioned a few months ago. However, this is not a record. A full payment of 164 thousand dollars was made for a check from 1976, which was put up for auction last year. We’ll see if check number 2 will break a new record in the coming days.
Not just checks signed by Steve Jobs, everything Apple’s old is auctioned off at record prices. Here are some of them:
