Estimated final bids for these lots range from $200 to $55,000, so it’s also possible that entry-level bidders can get a piece of Apple history for less than a new iPad.
Some of the items at the auction include:
Steve Jobs’ signed high school yearbook in 1971, starting at $50,000
Macworld magazine signed by Steve Jobs, starting price of $50,000
Apple-1 computer manual, starting price $20,000

1978 Apple “Startrek” starting game cartridge, starting price $600

Some auctions also include NFT versions of the lot, for example, Steve Jobs’ Atari job application and NFT had a starting bid of $20,000 and an estimated value of $300,000. Previously, without NFTs, it was valued at $175,000.
There are 67 items in the sale, 41 of which are historic Apple products or memorabilia. The auction has started, so has the bidding, and on March 17, 2022, at 7:00 PM ET, bidding for all collections will close.
