Check Signed by Steve Jobs Sells for Over $100k at Auction
Jobs’ check is notable because it uses the first Apple address at 770 Welch Rd., Ste. 154, Palo Alto. This was the address of an answering service that Jobs and Wozniak used while working out of the Jobs family garage.
RR Auction VP Bobby Livingston said that early checks like this are desired because “they not only tell Apple’s founding story, they are signed with perfect examples of Steve Jobs’s autograph,” plus they “allay collectors’ concerns about the authenticity of Steve Jobs’s signature.”
Another early check signed by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak was auctioned off in 2022, and that check sold for $164,000.

Serial killer Levi Bellfield ‘signed confession admitting to brutal murders of Lin Russel & daughter Meghan’
SERIAL killer Levi Bellfield has signed a confession admitting to the hammer murders of Lin and daughter Megan Russell in 1996, it was reported last night.
Lawyers for Michael Stone, 62, who was convicted of the crime, say it contains information only the killer would know.

Although the document has not been given to police, it is being used in Stone’s appeal efforts.
Stone told The Mirror from HMP Frankland: “I’ve been in prison for 26 years for a crime I did not commit.”
Lin, 45, and daughters, Josie, nine, and Megan, six, were tied up and attacked in Chillenden, Kent. Josie survived.
Triple murderer Bellfield, 54, who is serving two whole life orders, claimed responsibility a year ago, then denied it.
Stone’s solicitor Theresa Clark said: “The statement made last year was never signed. He’s subsequently done a written statement which he has signed. He accepts responsibility.”
The Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) said the case is under review.
The CCRC, which has been investigating Stone’s conviction since 2017, will decide whether the case should be referred to the Court of Appeal.
Submissions by his defence team since 2017 already included a four-page written confession to the killings by Bellfield from February last year.
But after the confession was publicised he then reportedly denied the attack, prompting claims it could have been part of a sick joke to “mess” with Stone.
Last June it was reported that the CCRC was set to find there was no forensic evidence to connect Bellfield to the crimes, and that evidence had emerged that cast doubt on the credibility of his confession.
Ms Clark said of the signed statement: “This is a new and more detailed one.
“The statement made last year was never signed by him but he’s subsequently done a written statement which he’s signed.”
Stone was arrested a year after Lin and Megan’s murders on unrelated charges, when he is alleged to have confessed to a fellow prisoner in a Canterbury prison.
A CCRC spokesperson said of Stone’s case: “This case is currently under review and no final decision has yet been reached on the application.”

Signed Apple-1 and Sealed Original iPhone Expected to Fetch High Prices at Auction
The Apple-1 for sale is “undiscovered,” as it was not on the known list of remaining Apple-1 devices until 2023. It was first used as a demonstration system at the Data Domain computer store in Columbus, Indiana in 1977. After that, it was given to the current owner.
The machine was signed by Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and it is in full operational condition. There were around 200 Apple-1 computers produced in 1976, and 175 of those were sold. A limited number of the devices remain, and they can sell for upwards of $400,000. The Data Domain Apple-1 is considered an “exceptional and historic” example of one of the machines, and RR Auction expects it to sell for over $500,000.
An original, sealed iPhone is up for sale as well, notable as a sealed first-generation iPhone just sold for more than $63,000, quite a premium over the initial $599 retail price. Bids for the RR Auction model are already at $5,000, and it is expected to sell for well over $20,000.
Other items up for sale include notes handwritten by Steve Jobs, a Steve Jobs-signed check, a Steve Jobs business card, an Apple IIe, a Macintosh 128K prototype computer, an Apple Lisa, an Apple Computer stock certificate, an Apple Computer latch hook rug, a collection of Apple pins and keychains, and more.
