Even several years after his death, Steve Jobs continues to captivate crowds. A Fortune magazine he had covered and signed is considered collector’s item and will be auctioned off on July 30. The start-up sum is mind-blowing…
$ 11,000 to start the auction
If you have an authentic item signed by a celebrity, keeping it can earn you sooner or later!
The site Nate D. Sanders Auctions will offer in one of its auctions a Fortune magazine published on October 9, 1989, with Steve Jobs on the cover. The particularity? The Apple co-founder himself signed it with his own hands. To attest to the authenticity, you will find a certificate with the sale of the magazine. At the time, Steve Jobs was making the headlines of Fortune to recount his experience after his dismissal from Apple and the creation of his company NeXT.
The anecdote goes that the autograph was obtained by a certain Terry who was an employee of a large company that provided limousines for business leaders and celebrities.
Faithful driver of Steve Jobs for several years, Terry accompanied the co-founder of Apple in all his travels. One day, Terry went to a newsstand to buy Fortune magazine with his client on the cover. When he met Steve Jobs, he kindly asks him to sign his magazine with a marker that he had brought back. A gesture that Jobs had not appreciated since he made the decision a few hours later to complain to the management of the company.
