Gem Mint signed 1983 Steve Jobs business card opens at $70,000 — second signed card from that era after $180,000 record sale
This rare business card is currently on RR Auction, with a previous example going for $180,000 just a couple of years ago. It's graded Gem Mint 10, meaning it's as perfect as it can get.
A signed Steve Jobs business card from 1983 has been auctioned off for $70,741 at RR Auction. This card is particularly valuable due to the rarity of such items from 1983 and its Gem Mint 10 grade, the highest possible rating from PSA/DNA, confirming its authenticity. Only four such cards have been auctioned off by RR Auction in the past, and this is the second one signed by Steve Jobs to come up for sale in 2024.
The card is described as being in fine condition with light soiling and staple holes, which do not interfere with the strong signature. Despite not being perfect, the bidding is already at $77,816. This isn't the first time that an item connected to a prominent founder has been sold for a high price: the Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's leather jacket, which costs $9,000 when purchased new, was auctioned on Sotheby’s and reached a staggering $960,000.
However, these iconic items of CEOs are quite expensive, and the Steve Jobs business card is also a pricey addition to any tech enthusiast's collection. For those who can't afford this, a batch of 97 unreleased NES cartridges featuring Duck Hunt and Super Mario Bros. has recently surfaced at a retro shop, with high grades and estimated starting prices in the four figures, making it a more affordable option for a tech-related collection.
