Apple’s Origin Story Up for Grabs
If you’re an Apple fan or a memorabilia collector, get your wallets ready! The original contract that founded the Apple Computer Company—yes, the very document that set Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne on their journey to tech superstardom—is about to hit the auction block. Experts predict it could fetch a jaw-dropping $3 million, possibly making it the most expensive Apple collectible ever sold.

This isn’t just any old paperwork. The contract represents the literal birth certificate of the world’s most valuable company. Signed in 1976, it’s the legal document that gave rise to the Apple empire—a far cry from the iPhones and MacBooks we know today. Imagine owning the piece of paper that kicked off a tech revolution and made “Think Different” a household phrase.
Let’s be honest, whoever wins this auction will probably never have to worry about dropping their iPhone again—they’ll own the document that made it all possible! Maybe next time you lose your AirPods, you can just show them this contract and get a replacement straight from Tim Cook himself.
