We want Apple Collector's Glasses!

To mark Apple's 50th anniversary, unique items linked to the brand's history were sold for a total of over $8 million.
"Steve Jobs & the Computer Revolution: The Apple 50th Anniversary Auction" was the name of an auction organized by RR Auction, which recently concluded with considerable success. $2.4 million for the "most important document in Apple history." These collector's items from Apple's history sold for a total of $8,153,074, including $2,409,886 for the star item alone: a $500 check considered by computer historians to be the "most important document in Apple's history," as it was signed by two of the company's co-founders—Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak—and is dated March 16, 1976, two weeks before Apple's creation on April 1 of the same year. Among the other items, a collection of Bob Dylan audio cartridges was particularly noteworthy. Bow ties, a business card, or an old desk, all belonging to Steve Jobs, or even custom-made glasses belonging to Steve Wozniak (photo above) sold for $47,000. Worth it, right?
