Saw a recent interview with Wayne. He was nothing but realistic about his having given away his share of Apple. It made sense at the time, so he did it, felt no regrets, and is quite genuinely happy to see the boys become as successful as they did. Good-natured guy, a rarity among bazillionares.
only after they've brought in a buddy expert to take a look at them first of course.
Am I the only one who thinks that this paper is only worth having when you are in a jungle and have nothing else and have to take a ****?
This guy is basically low income - never made any money - not even a millionaire...
Dumb??
This is an absolute gem of an item. It's a piece of Silicon Valley history, and not just any piece.
Apple should purchase the documents, frame them and make it as a permanent display in their new spaceship HQ.
It could fetch $150,000,000 if there's a dumb enough buyer.
Am I, the only one who much rather would have that map of America?
[Ron Wayne] had never owned an Apple product until September 5, 2011, when he was given an iPad 2
Yeah, sure. And you could build an awesome startup company for that kind of money. Somehow, the latter sounds like a much better investment to me than spending it on a thirty year old contract paper without any real value, neither historical nor otherwise. This is an expensive fan article, nothing else.

Nope. Sounds vastly more interesting. Not $150k interesting, though.Am I, the only one who much rather would have that map of America?

I don't think he has a lot of money dude.

Who do you think kicks himself the most? Ron Wayne, Brian Dunkelman (left American Idol before it was popular), or Pete Best (original drummer for the Beatles)?
Ron Wayne has to go down as one of the WORST (OK, PC: "most unfortunate") businessmen in history! Seriously, this poor fool rolled around in bed for eleven nights, worried that Jobs & Woz were going to "ruin his good name and fortune"... until he sold...! Smooth...
With that kind of track record on business, Wayne should be working in government...!

I wonder if the buyer could claim ownership of Apple?
I hope that whomever wins this, places it in a museum for public viewing. Either Apple headquarters or a private Apple museum open to the public. This is definitely one of the greatest pieces of Apple history and possibly the ultimate Apple collectable.
