An ongoing auction includes several items related to technology giant Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) and also signed business cards from former Apple CEO Steve Jobs and from Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, two of the most famous visionary leaders of the last 40 years.
What Happened: Auction company RR Auction is hosting an Apple-themed “Steve Jobs and the Apple Computer Revolution” event, which includes several items connected to the former CEO including checks personally signed by Jobs.
A rare Apple-1 computer signed by Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and a sealed first-generation iPhone are also among the highlights in the auction.
Also included in the auction is a signed Steve Jobs Apple Computer business card from 1983.
“Highly coveted circa 1983 Apple Computer business card of Steve Jobs, which is signed neatly in black ink,” the auction house said.
The business card is authenticated as a 10 Gem Mint by PSA, one of the leading authentication companies for sports cards and autographs. The business card displays Steve Jobs’ title as Chairman of the Board of Directors, along with a listed address and phone number.
At the time of writing, the business card signed by Jobs has reached $29,282 with 26 bids. The auction will end on March 21 at 6 p.m. ET with extended bidding also possible. The business card had a pre-auction estimate of $10,000.
The auction also includes an unsigned Jobs business card from Apple that is currently at $5,724.
While the auction is highly focused on Jobs and Apple related items, bidders can also take part in acquiring a signed business card from another legendary CEO.
