A magazine cover featuring and signed by Steve Jobs for "Fortune" in 1989 was sold for 16,638 US Dollars in an auction last Friday, July 31, 2020.
The copy sold on Nate D. Sanders Auctions's webpage is only the cover of the magazine, and is said to belong to one of the chauffer of the Apple Founder. The copy of the magazine came with a signed Letter of Authenticity that ensured the asking or reserve price at $11,000.
The written text reads "To Terry" and the affixed is a bold faced, small capitalization signature. A young Steve Jobs is seen in the magazine in full detail, sitting on a chair, with the cover saying "How Steve Jobs Linked Up with IBM". The magazine is published shortly after Jobs' new company launch, NeXT, Inc. The magazine's dimensions are 9" x 10.875".
Steve Jobs left behind a lot of hardware that we certainly use now or if not, encountered. Everything that Apple does and what we can touch, feel, and bring are all considered hardware and considered to be his legacy. Any Apple device that a person can touch and name, it is Jobs' legacy.
Computers were the first to be launched by the tech company, iBooks and iMacs, then their very own music software: the iTunes, to their own MP3 players: the iPod, varying from the iPod Classic, Nano, and Touch, to their tablets: the iPad, to their very own cellular phones: iPhones, and many more.
This legacy of the late visionary and tech mogul, Steve Jobs, brought so much into the world that it enabled a future of possibilities and wonders for the many generations to come. Jobs' memorabilia would continue to live on forever, and continue to increase value, just as much and more than his autographed magazine cover.
