"A Steve Jobs-signed check from Apple's earliest days just sold for $2.4 million at auction, more than doubling pre-sale estimates. The check, made out to Crampton, Remke & Miller for $175 on July 3, 1976, represents payment to the electronics parts supplier that helped build Apple's first computers. It's signed by Jobs, co-founder Steve Wozniak, and original partner Ronald Wayne."
"These prices reflect intense collector demand for tangible pieces of Apple's origin story. The contrast between that $175 check and Apple's current reality is staggering. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) now commands a $3.81 trillion market cap, making it the world's most valuable publicly traded company. The company just reported record quarterly revenue of $143.8 billion, up 16% year-over-year, with earnings per share of $2.84 beating analyst estimates."
