There are a lot of fans who are willing to spend incredible amounts just for the feeling of owning an item signed by their favorite actor or singer. And as unlikely as it might seem to some, the technological world is no exception. Actually, it's the exact opposite, since the death of Steve Jobs, several items signed by his own hand have been auctioned off. However, we are not talking about sums up to several thousand crowns, most of the items ranged in the order of tens of thousands of dollars.
A similar fate awaited the Pixar poster, which Steve Jobs signed in 1995, after completing the first animated feature film that most of you probably remember – Toy Story. It was a milestone in the production of computer-generated films and this hilarious cartoon became the first pioneer. Since then, four parts have been created and with each new addition, the series is gaining greater dimensions. Steve Jobs was aware of the potential success even then, so he immortalized his name on one of the posters, where the cowboy Woody stands next to Buzz and holds him friendly around the shoulders. But you probably wouldn't hang the poster above your bed, for a 91-centimeter-high and 61-centimeter-wide picture you would pay over 31 thousand dollars, or over 713 thousand crowns, which, by the way, is the amount for which you would be able to buy 23 iPhone XS in the base (if we count one for 29 crowns). And even if you were willing to consider buying it, one of the biggest fans has already beaten you to it.
According to Nate D. Sanders Auctions, where the auction was held, the poster sold the very next day after it began. The original price started at a slightly more favorable $25, or over 580 crowns, but it soon climbed to a dizzying sum. That, by the way, is a much higher amount than you can buy the best configuration of a Mac for. Pro. It is around the price tag of 463,850 crowns and we dare to say that for the offered price it is worth much more. Nevertheless, it is respectable to know that there are fans willing to spend such a sum for an item that de facto has only collector's value. On the other hand, Steve Jobs was a great one and this auction, like many others, has confirmed it again. Would you be willing to buy something like this?
