Magazine signed by Steve Jobs up for $ 50.000

Everything related to Apple, in recent years has been an object of collection, especially if we talk about the first models that both Wozniak and Jobs launched on the market. On this occasion, we talked about an auction that the RR Auction firm recently held, an auction in which the Apple mythologians had the possibility of get hold of a magazine signed by Steve Jobs.

What's so special about a sad magazine signed by Steve Jobs? Steve Jobs was not a person who liked to sign autographs, in fact, most of the time he refused, but the lucky owner of the magazine, Williams A former developer of the Lotus Corporation firm, he insisted until he succeeded.

It all happened in 1988, at the event in which Steve Jobs presented the NeXT computer attended by Williams, who just bought from Newsweek in which Jobs would appear as a prominent character on the cover. When the presentation ended, Williams, excited by the figure of Jobs, approached him to sign an autograph, Obtaining an answer: I do not sign autographs.

Williams, neither short nor lazy, and in the face of the refusal, he urged Jobs to write something that came from his heart. Jobs immediately picked up the magazine and wrote "I love to make" and he signed the copy, but not before underlining the word love, which confirmed the passion he had for creation and design.

During all of these, Williams kept the magazine in a bank box until he felt it was time to ditch it and get a good pinch, which has turned into $ 50.587. The magazine in question was published on October 24, 1988 and on the cover we can see a young man, with hair, Steve Jobs leaning on a NeXT, his first creation after leaving Apple.
