Steve Jobs signed Apple Business Card sells for over $180,000 at Auction

Extremely rare, perfectly graded Steve Jobs-signed Apple Computer business card from circa 1983

The 1983 Apple Computer business card was signed in black ink by Jobs at a time when he was the chairman of the board of directors at the Cupertino firm - John Sculley had just been recruited from Pepsi-Cola to serve as CEO at the time. Boston-based RR Auctions writes that the card is extremely rare and has been perfectly graded.

The off-white card, ​​3.5 x 2, features the iconic 'rainbow' version of the Apple 'byte' logo and reads: “Steven Jobs, Chairman Board of Directors,” with the company's address and contact information listed below: “10260 Bandley Drive, Cupertino, California 95014, (408) 996-1010.” In fine condition, with a faint stain on the front from an old tape stain on the back. Encapsulated and graded by PSA/DNA as "GEM MT 10." 

Prior to this sale, RR Auction has offered a total of 10 Steve Jobs business cards, with just one dating to circa 1983. This offered Apple Computer business card represents our second from that elusive time frame, but it is made exponentially rarer by the presence of Jobs’s bold, neatly placed signature. Less than five Jobs-signed Apple Computer business cards—from any period—have successfully passed PSA/DNA authentication.
