The first Apple shareholder's certificate, offered to Steve Jobs, is being auctioned in the USA, the amount asked for it being 195.000 dollars, suitable for its importance. In the image below you can see what this shareholder certificate looks like, it was awarded to Steven P. Jobs, co-founder of the Apple company and president at the time of the award.
Whether you want to believe it or not, this shareholder certificate was saved from a pile of garbage by a former Apple employee and kept for 31 years. The certificate was issued in 1981, shortly after Apple shares began to be sold on the American stock exchange, starting with 1980, its age being certified.
This shareholder's certificate was displayed in Steve Jobs' office during his time as Apple's president, but was thrown in the trash in 1985, after John Sculley took over as president. Then the decision was made to throw it in the trash together with other objects that Steve Jobs left in the office that the former president used in the Apple campus.
The importance of the Apple shareholder certificate may be great for some fans of the company, but it is very difficult to say who would be willing to pay no less than 195.000 dollars for it. I think that in the end someone will be found willing to spend so much money, but probably not in this auction.
