A signed Apple Computer business card from 1983, once belonging to the late Steve Jobs, just sold for a bundle at an auction in Boston, Massachusetts.
Anything the late Steve Jobs touched is worth more than its weight in gold. Case in point — one of his old business cards just sold for six figures at an auction in Boston, Massachusetts.

The auction company says they believe the sale has set a world record for a signed business card.
