Not the type of person to pay for an autograph of anyone, though I can sort of get an idea on why some people might want to have this. If you are super passionate about something, or have been heavily influenced by someone in the past, having a piece that sort of connects you to them can have some value personally. What I think is crazier is people paying for Hermes cases for their AirTags and other crazy wrist band pricing for Apple Watches.
I understand what you're saying, but it's also a piece of history.
It is only available to some people who might use the money to feed hungry people or something better... but if you have a lot of money you can do both.
People that buy stuff like this do it for an investment. Some day in the future this same card will be auctioned off for 1 million $$$
Actually a house has land, materials, manpower - you pay for those things in order to get a house, irrespective of its utility (what someone is willing to pay for).
You can live in a house. Or rent it out to make money.
People will always need shelter and a place to live. No one ever really NEEDS a business card signed by Steve Jobs.
Seriously? There are many places around the U.S. where houses can be purchased for under $200,000.
I still miss that Apple logo. I wish they would bring it back even if just for like Anniversary editions of devices or for cases.
Not places that most people would want to live. I'm blocks from one of the most poverty stricken cities in America and my town starts at like 200k. Any less and I'm literally living in a ghetto.
"Steven" was used for things like legal documents but it's not unusual for someone to publicly use (and be better known by) a nickname instead of their full name e.g., Steve Wozniak instead of Stephen Wozniak, Tim Cook instead of Timothy Cook, Jeff Bezos instead of Jeffrey Bezos, Bill Gates instead of William Gates, etc.

If you do a search on sites like realtor.com, you will find plenty of places around the U.S. with houses under $200,000 that aren't "ghettos."
There is a world outside of USA, ya know?
That Tim Cook signature reminds me of Gavin Belson's signature:
Exactly, the only thing I can think of is money laundering, the antiques and auction markets are known for that.
for someone who prides himself on details and artistry, that has to be the most plain and boring signature ever
