Overview
- RR Auction has listed a $10 check signed by Steve Jobs dated July 4, 1976 for its Fine Autographs and Artifacts sale.
- The check is payable to the People’s Computer Company and carries the letters “DDJ,” which the auction listing says likely denotes a Dr. Dobb’s Journal subscription but is not definitively verified.
- At publication the lot had 14 bids and a current bid of $21,962, with RR Auction estimating a final sale around $25,000.
- Initial bids for the auction must be placed by July 15, 2026 at 6:00 pm, after which final bidding will take place.
- Collectors see the piece as contextually valuable because it was written just months after Apple’s April 1976 founding and follows earlier high‑value sales of Apple origin documents this year.
