Tech enthusiasts are a passionate bunch, and the rich ones among them are willing to put their money where their mouth is. This is exactly what we see with a signed Steve Jobs business card from 1983, which is posted on RR Auction<\/a> and is going for $70,741 at the time of writing. What made this relic special is that Job\u2019s business cards from 1983 are a rare commodity and remain in high demand from collectors. It also received a Gem Mint 10 grade \u2014 the highest possible rating from PSA\/DNA and is certified to be authentic.<\/p>\n

RR Auction says that it has auctioned off 15 Steve Jobs business cards in its history, but only four of those come from 1983. This is also only the second one to bear the signature of Apple\u2019s founder, which was put on the auction block in 2024 and fetched an eye-watering $180,000<\/a>. The card on auction right now isn\u2019t exactly perfect, with the website describing it as \u201cIn fine condition, with light soiling and staple holes to the upper section, none of which affect the bold signature.\u201d Still, there\u2019s at least 16 bids on the item, and the next bid is currently listed at $77, 816.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time that an item related to an iconic founder has fetched thousands of dollars on the auction block. Just last month, Sotheby\u2019s estimated that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang\u2019s iconic Tom Ford leather jacket, which costs $9,000 if you buy it new, would get up to $60,000. However, when the hammer finally closed the auction, the winning bid hit $960,000<\/a>, which, we believe, is driven by Jensanity<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, if you\u2019re not into the personal effects of CEOs and want something more substantial, you\u2019ll probably have to fork out a lot more money. One example we have is the Apple-1 \u2018Prototype Board #0,\u2019 which sold for $2,750,000<\/a>. Aside from costing a lot of money, these are rare finds, and you\u2019ll have to wait years, if not decades, to get a chance at owning something so exceptional. But if you have a hole burning in your pocket and want to start a tech-related collection, but find the Steve Jobs business card a bit above your budget, an unreleased batch of 97 Duck Hunt and Super Mario Bros. NES cartridges<\/a> has recently been discovered at a retro shop, most of which are graded 9.6 or higher by PSA. Three examples are about to enter auction on August 12, and they\u2019re estimated to start at four figures, which might make it more \u201cattainable\u201d to fledgling collections.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n
