A newly surfaced Steve Jobs-signed check is up for auction, reports AppleInsider. The check is included in RR Auction’s Fine Autographs and Artifacts auction, which includes signatures from American presidents, politicians, authors, royalty, scientists, engineers, innovators, and everyone in between.
The $10 check to “People’s Computer Company,” was written on July 4, 1976, America’s Bicentennial, and was written just months after the official founding of Apple, linking the founding of the company to America’s Bicentennial. The United States is celebrating its 250th birthday this July 4.
The check bears the letters DDJ, indicating that it was payment for a one-year subscription to Dr. Dobb’s Journal, a popular programming magazine at the time.
At the time of this article’s writing, the check has 14 bids and is currently priced at $21,962. It’ll cost you $24,159 if you want to make the next bid. RR Auction expects the check to sell for $25,000.
The auction will run until July 15. Interested buyers must place an initial bid by July 15 at 6:00 pm, with final bidding to take place shortly after.
