“We are thrilled at the price achieved and that’s why we thought it fitting that the Apple 1 should headline our annual Rare and Remarkable auction— it’s a museum-quality piece that has earned a special place in history,” said Bobby Livingston, Executive VP at RR Auction.
Two other pieces of Apple memorabilia sold in the same auction. A Macintosh Plus signed by Steve Jobs and nine team members, which sold for $28,750. An Apple annual report also signed by Steve went for $23,750.
