Someone bought a Steve Jobs card for the equivalent of 180 iPhones

At a point in 1983, Steve Jobs signed one of his business cards and gave it to someone. Fast-forward 40 years or so, it was sold an at auction for just over $180,000.

That's the equivalent of 180 units of the current iPhone 15… or 400 Apple Watch Series 9, or 643 Apple AirPods Pro, states WinFuture.

On the card, there's the rainbow "Apple Computer" logo, Steve's name and his company title, and the Cupertino address.

Almost $200K is no joke, but it's far from the prices of some collectibles. According to Sotheby's, the "1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311" baseball card is the most valuable piece of sports memorabilia in history – it sold on 22 August 2022 for $12.6 million.

According to experts, Steve Jobs' card is in perfect condition. So, it shows neither discoloration nor any damage to corners or edges. Jobs' signature is also flawlessly preserved.

At the same auction named "Steve Jobs and the Apple Computer Revolution," other quirky company products were also sold. Among them, for example, one of only 30 specially made Steve Wozniak Apple rainbow sunglasses for $11,000/pair and Apple wine glasses for $314 each.

So, how much of an Apple fan are you?
