Historic cheque signed by Steve Jobs in 1976 auctioned at $50,000

Steve Jobs from Apple

Collectors and Apple enthusiasts have a rare opportunity to acquire a significant piece of tech history as an iconic check, signed by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, goes up for auction this month through RR Auction.

The check, dated March 19, 1976, was signed by Jobs and Wozniak a mere 13 days before Apple’s official founding. At that time, Apple’s account with Wells Fargo Bank had not even been formally established. The check represents a pivotal moment in Apple’s early days and holds a special place in the company’s journey, as its routing and account numbers align with other early checks attributed to Apple.

The check was issued to Ramlor, Inc., a printed circuit board company, in the amount of $116.97, which would roughly translate to $630 in today’s currency. RR Auction states that Jobs and Wozniak most likely wrote the check to pay for circuit boards needed for the first Apple-1 computers.

Bidding for this historical artifact has already commenced, with 18 bids received, and the current price stands at an impressive $55,527. The next bid is set at $61,080, and the auction is scheduled to conclude on August 24. While the initial price may appear steep, it is essential to consider recent auction results, where an original 4 GB iPhone fetched over $190,000 and a pair of Apple sneakers was listed for sale at $50,000 through Sotheby’s. Given its significance in tech history, this check undoubtedly appeals to passionate collectors.

RR Auction is also offering more than 50 other Apple-related items for sale until August 24, including functional early Apple computers and a draft ad handwritten by Steve Jobs for the Apple-1 computer.

Apple memorabilia continues to command high prices, and this historic check serves as a tangible piece of the company’s foundation, making it a prized possession for any avid Apple collector.

Bank accidentally deposits $86M into client’s account

A financial institution mistakenly deposited over $86 million into a client’s account, causing shockwaves in the banking industry.

The error came to light when the client, a small business owner, checked their account balance and discovered the astronomical sum. It is being hailed as one of the most significant banking errors in recent memory.

The client, who wishes to remain anonymous, reportedly contacted the bank immediately upon noticing the massive windfall. Bank officials were left scrambling to rectify the error, which has raised numerous questions about the institution’s internal controls and safeguards.

The client’s account, initially holding just a few thousand dollars, suddenly displayed a balance that could buy luxury yachts, mansions, and more.

The incident has prompted investigations by regulatory authorities to determine how such an egregious error occurred in the first place.

While the bank has issued an apology and assured the client that the funds will be corrected to the proper balance, it remains unclear how this mistake could have happened on such a colossal scale.

The financial institution may also face potential legal consequences for the error, as well as reputational damage that could impact its future business.

Tech giants drive global mega-cap surge amid inflation relief

Published

on

Tech giants have taken the lead in propelling global mega-cap stocks to new heights.

This surge comes as a welcome relief for investors who have been closely monitoring the impact of rising inflation on the financial markets.

The tech sector, including giants like Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft, has been instrumental in driving the rally. These companies have reported robust earnings and strong growth prospects, which has boosted investor confidence. As a result, the market capitalization of these tech behemoths has reached unprecedented levels, contributing significantly to the overall rise in global mega-cap stocks.

The easing of inflationary pressures has played a pivotal role in this resurgence. Central banks’ efforts to tame inflation through monetary policy adjustments have begun to bear fruit, reassuring investors and stabilizing financial markets. As concerns over rapidly increasing prices recede, investors have become more willing to invest in mega-cap stocks, particularly in the tech sector, which has demonstrated resilience in the face of economic challenges.

Will the tech giants maintain their momentum and continue to lead the mega-cap surge, or are there potential risks on the horizon?
