An interesting item is up for bid in the RR Auction (rrauction.com) ¡°Remarkable Rarities¡± auction. Besides an original Apple I computer, there is item: Lot 3036. It is a check from Apple Computer Company in 1976 (the year of the company¡¯s founding) made out to Tektronix, Inc. The check is signed by Steve Jobs and was drawn from the company¡¯s Wells Fargo account. The signature has been authenticated. The estimate is $25,000. The check amount is $9.18.
There is also some genuine moon rock dust used in an experiment, hand-written notes from Albert Einstein, and a lot of other autographs and some items from historical figures and events.
If I had a bundle of money, I¡¯d bid the check to win it and donate it to Vintage Tek. Unfortunately, I¡¯ve not that sort of disposable income.
