Apple's Founding Papers Return to Auction, Could Fetch Up to...

The 1976 Apple founding document signed by Jobs, Wozniak, and Wayne is expected to reach up to $4 million at a New York auction in January 2026.

  • In a New York sale on January 23, Christie’s will feature the three-page Apple agreement valued between $2,000,000 and $4,000,000 by Apple Insider.
  • The three-page agreement contains the written document that made official the formation of Apple Computer Company in 1976 and bears signatures of Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ron Wayne.
  • Ron Wayne left less than a fortnight after Apple’s creation and sold his 10 percent share back within a year, accepting $1,500 to sign away remaining interests and later selling his copy for $500, which he regretted in a BBC interview.
  • Given past sales, collectors should expect strong bidding as vintage Apple memorabilia demand rises, shown by a 2023 unopened first-generation iPhone fetching around 300 times its original price.
  • Against a backdrop of rising vintage‑tech prices, the lot’s link to founders’ signatures amplifies media and historians' interest and could spotlight the tech memorabilia market.
