An original Apple-1 computer sold for $499,363, leading an impressive selection of Apple, Steve Jobs, and historic technology artifacts in RR Auction Auction, which closed August 20, 2026. Known as the “Neumark” Apple-1, the computer was sold internationally in 1977 and was presented in a unique Smith-Corona typewriter case. Complete with original documentation and configured in the “Byte Shop” style, the early Apple computer easily surpassed its $300,000+ estimate.
The result reinforces the extraordinary collector demand for surviving examples of the computer that launched Apple. Designed by Steve Wozniak and marketed by Steve Jobs, only about 200 Apple-1 computers were originally produced.
Steve Jobs Business Card Reaches $156,658
Steve Jobs memorabilia also delivered several standout results, led by a circa-1983 Steve Jobs signed Apple business card graded PSA GEM MT 10, which realized an extraordinary $156,658 against an estimate of $60,000+.
The auction featured several other Jobs related artifacts with direct connections to Apple’s earliest years. A 1976 Apple Computer Company check signed by Jobs and issued to Santa Clara Circuits, a supplier linked to the first Apple-1 boards, brought $53,594.
Another 1976 Apple check, issued to Apple’s first bookkeeper, Elizabeth Holmes, sold for $48,721.
A Steve Jobs signed NeXT business card featuring a handwritten note to his father reached $39,726, while Jobs’ personally built eighth-grade science fair project sold for an impressive $34,375.
Even a Macintosh 512K that Jobs gave to his father significantly exceeded expectations, realizing $32,333 against a $5,000+ estimate.

Early Apple Hardware Remains Strong
Beyond the Apple-1, several important pieces of Apple hardware commanded substantial prices.
An Apple P68 “Stealth iPod” development prototype, originating from original iPod team program manager Jim Dumont, sold for $91,479, nearly doubling its $50,000+ estimate.
An Apple Lisa featuring rare “Twiggy” drives, accompanied by a ProFile hard drive, manuals and printer, realized $89,356. A sealed first-generation 4GB iPhone reached $62,119, while an early Apple II with a Rev. 0 board and rare ventless case sold for $37,500.
The results demonstrate that collector interest extends well beyond Apple’s earliest computer. Significant prototypes, first-generation products and hardware with direct links to Apple’s development history continue to attract serious bidding.
Jensen Huang-Signed NVIDIA GPU Brings $57,450
One of the auction’s most eye-catching results came from a much more contemporary piece of technology.
A NVIDIA RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition twice signed by NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang soared to $57,450 against an estimate of only $6,000+.
The result illustrates how the technology collectibles market is expanding beyond early personal computing. Objects associated with major figures and companies in the current AI era are already attracting collectors alongside established names such as Jobs, Wozniak and Apple.
Video game history was another highlight. A Ralph H. Baer signed and custom-built “Brown Box” demonstration console created for the PBS concert special Video Games Live realized $124,781. Baer’s pioneering work ultimately led to the Magnavox Odyssey and earned him recognition as one of the central figures in the development of home video games.
