The old business card of the late Apple CEO has a starting price of 300 USD and is expected to sell for many times higher.
According to Appleinsider, YouTuber Alfred DiBlasi is the owner of the business card he received from a friend in 1980. It was kept in a plastic bag and kept in storage after many years in good condition. A business card dating back to 1979 shows Steve Jobs' title as Executive Vice President of the company.
The auction is expected to start in mid-February and end on March 17. Organizer is RR Auction with online form.
