  • A business card signed by Steve Jobs is up for auction and already fetching high bids. A similar card, last year, sold for over $181,000.

Steve Jobs didn’t much care for signing autographs, so anything with his signature is a hot commodity among the Apple faithful. An upcoming auction could underscore just how much that signature is worth.

RR Auctions has put a business card signed by Jobs up for auction, and it’s already attracting staggering bids. A total of 13 have been submitted so far, and the price, as of Wednesday morning, has already hit $75,000. And the bidding won’t conclude for another eight days.

To top that bid, you’ll need to commit to an extra $7,500. And expect that to be topped before long: A similar Jobs-signed business card sold last year for just over $181,000.

The card has been certified as authentic and given a perfect grade (despite having staple holes in the corner, which don’t affect the autograph).

To date, there are fewer than five Jobs-signed Apple Computer business cards that have been authenticated.

Jobs passed away in 2011 at the age of 56. The cult of personality surrounding him, which was almost impenetrable when he was alive, has continued after his death.

In 2023, a check signed by Jobs set a then record. That check, written in 1976, was originally worth $13.86, paid to Elmar Electronics. It sold for $176,850. The check predated the official founding of Apple Computer. It was likely used to purchase electronic components that were used in the construction of the first Apple-1 prototypes. Because the company did not yet officially exist, Jobs wrote “Apple Computer” as well as the address of his Palo Alto garage in the top left corner.
