Two versions of onejob application filled out by the late co-founder of Apple, Steve Jobs, were sold at auction this week. The physical paper document was sold for the sum of $343,000 in an Ethereum equivalent. The other version of this document was virtual, it was the NFT of the Apple co-founder's job application. It was sold for just $23,000.
This NFT version of the document was intended to be a “test” for the Joshi sales site, which wondered whether such a sale would interest its audience, and how much people would be willing to pay for an NFT.
As for the physical document, it has passed from hand to hand in recent years, regularly changing ownership. In 2018 it had already been valued at nearly $175,000. If the document is authentic, it is nevertheless quite complicated to trace its history. Steve Jobs surely filled it out when he was 18 and attending Reed College.
A fascination with Apple's past
It is not uncommon to find products that belonged to Steve Jobs or his colleague on auction sites.Steve Wozniak, the two co-founders of the apple. These objects full of history often sell for crazy sums. The few copies of Apple's first computer,the Apple-1 are real treasures for enthusiasts of the Cupertino companyand sell for astronomical sums. In 2014, a central unit was sold for almost a million dollars.
Official papers and documents signed by the hand of Steve Jobs are also highly sought after by collectors. The founder of the apple having repeatedly refused to sign autographs, the smallest administrative document that he would have completed during his young years can today be worth hundreds of thousands of euros, like this request of employment made by the future boss of Apple.
