Worth over $50,000!
In brief: When it comes to collectible signatures, which celebrity,
living or dead, do you think currently has the most valuable? Turns out
it’s Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, whose autograph is now worth around
$51,000.
According to the 2018 Paul Fraser Collectibles Autograph Index, Jobs’
signature has increased in value by more than 27 percent since 2000,
jumping 14.3 percent alone over the last year.
According to Daniel Wade, head writer of Palo Fraser Collectibles, part
of what makes Jobs’ autograph so valuable is because he rarely signed
his name. "Jobs was a reluctant signer, always maintaining that Apple
was a team effort,” he said.
Jobs sits in front of renowned physicist Stephen Hawking, who sadly
passed away earlier this year. His amyotrophic lateral sclerosis meant
he was unable to write by around the 1970s—he used his thumbprint after
that time—so a book containing his written name is worth $38,000; a 100
percent rise over the last few months.
Behind Jobs and Hawking are James Dean ($22,982), Bruce Lee ($15,321)
and Marilyn Monroe ($14,044). Paul McCartney has the most valuable
autograph of a living person—$3751. Others include Prince William,
Prince Harry, and J.K. Rowling. President Trump’s is worth $830, which
has increased 15.3 percent this last year.
Back in March, a one-page job application form filled out by Steve Jobs
three years before he co-founded Apple brought $174,000 at auction. His
leather jacket sold for $22,400 in 2016, while a magazine he signed went
for over $50,000 last year.
