Steve Jobs Signed Business Card Fetches Over $180,000 at Auction

What is a signed bun worth 🤔

Less than a bun without ink on it.

Does it include 8 TB of storage and 128 GB of RAM?

Nice, very nice. Let’s see Steve Wozniak's card.

It's like folks who collect stamps and coins and Pokemon cards, etc. Different values but same stuff at the end of the day - a waste of money in the eyes of A, but happiness in the eyes of B.

To each their own. I don't see the point of paying for a business card; but in the eyes of collectors - this could be amazing.

I would be very surprised if a business card signed by Tim would fetch that amount years from now.

 

[triptolemus]

for someone who prides himself on details and artistry, that has to be the most plain and boring signature ever

You're signing it wrong...

People really will just throw money away.

What do people do with this stuff? Do they hang it on the wall to show off to guests? Or do they believe it will appreciate in value and sell it in the future?

Steve should have spent a whole day signing cards, he'd have made billions.

A piece of paper with some guys name on it worth as much as a house.

Makes perfect sense.

Point me to where I can buy a house for 180k anymore. I’ll take 3.

Nice, very nice. Let’s see Steve Wozniak's card.

Let's see Paul Allen's card.

Huge amount! Not surprised. These collectables often end up going for high prices at the auction.

 

[Jorgen E]

"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.

Thanks, make sense. I didn’t know about the others

 

[mrgrdn]

It‘s a piece of history, the stories and the person behind it makes it so valuable. We are going to forget Tim Cook, but not Steve Jobs

A piece of paper with some guys name on it worth as much as a house.

But if using it as a bookmark stops you from folding over the page corners in your first edition Harry Potter... priceless!

 

[skardvin]

Wow! So much money. 🤑

 

[nylonsteel]

with that kind money you can can buy a nice car plus insurance maintenance gas etc.
wish i had that kind of disposable cash
