What is the selling price of Jobs' NFT version of the handwritten cover letter?

A rare job application filled out by late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs has been auctioned off at auction this week. Compared with the NFT version, the original paper version naturally attracts higher bids.

According to the website of auction organizer Olly Joshi, the job application that Jobs filled out in 1973 sold for the equivalent of $343,000 in ETH, while the NFT version fetched about $23,000. Snoofa has the paper version, and Ratible has the NFT version. When Joshi listed the project earlier this month, he positioned the release of the NFT version as something of an experiment.

“Will this open up a whole new market for decentralized collectibles? Will this break the status quo? Or can we see a new situation where the two can co-exist as we innovate through the next 50 years, Complementary even?" Josh asked on his website.

Jobs' application has been resold over the years, most recently in March for £162,000 (about $223,000 at the time). It previously hit the market in 2018, when it fetched nearly $175,000.

Not much is known about this document. When Jobs filled out the document, he was probably 18, attending or taking classes at Reed College. The computer guru dropped out of Reed after six months, but continued to audit various liberal arts classes for the next year and a half.

Early Apple hardware and Jobs memorabilia often command top prices at auction. The company's first computer, the Apple-1, is a good example, and a working device cost close to $1 million in 2014.
