    Steve Jobs-signed floppy, valued at $7,500, is up for auction
  • Collectors don't set limits. And definitely not for a piece of history associated with Apple's late co-founder, the legendary Steve Jobs.

    A vintage Macintosh floppy disk signed by Jobs is currently up for bidding at RR Auction. As per the auction house, it is a "museum-quality piece of computing history" and has an estimated value of $7,500.

    Here's all about it.

    About the autographed memorabilia

  • The floppy disk (copyrighted 1988) is said to contain the Macintosh System Tools Version 6.0 software and bears Jobs' signature in black felt tip.

    As per RR Auction, the memorabilia is "pre-certified" and is in "fine condition" with slight brushing to the ink. As for the general condition, the quality is just one grade lower than the auction house's top rating of "very fine".

  • Quote

    The disk bears Jobs' rare autograpgh

  • RR Auction notes that the disk is "a piece of Apple's iconic Mac OS software" carrying Jobs' "seldom-seen lowercase signature." It is a desirable item considering Jobs was known as "a reluctant signer" and he "often declined to comply with the requests of collectors."

  • Big bucks
