The following are some additional autographs we sold:
Steve Jobs signed ”Fortune” magazine cover from its 9 October 1989 issue, published shortly after the launch of Jobs’ new company NeXT, Inc. Jobs signs in black ink, ”To Terry / steve jobs”, with his characteristic lower case signature, next to a photo of the charismatic technology icon. The recipient, Terry, was one of Jobs’ chauffeur drivers for several years before asking Jobs to sign this magazine, although Jobs subsequently called the limousine company to complain about the autograph request. Magazine cover measures 9” x 10.875”, without rest of the pages. Affixed to autograph album page, which could easily be professionally removed. Near fine condition with a bold signature. With a COA from JSA, as well as an LOA from Terry the consignor, and also Terry’s first year performance review from the limousine company. Sold for $16,638.
Stephen Hawking book signed from 1976, shortly before Hawking was not able to write his name due to ALS. Hawking signs this novel, ”October the First is Too Late”, on the blank page opposite the title page in his stilted, but legible handwriting, reading ”Stephen Hawking” in blue ballpoint; interestingly, some doodles appearing on the back page also have the same stilted quality, indicating they may have been done by Hawking as well. Signature was acquired by Professor Antal Bejczy, a NASA scientist who developed the Mars Rover Sojourner and who worked with Hawking at CalTech in the 1970s. Novel is a 1976 paperback printing by author Fred Hoyle who, beyond his writing pursuits, was principally a theoretical astronomer. Like Hawking, he worked at the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge and also at CalTech where, during a sabbatical, he developed a theory of stellar nucleosynthesis. Book measures 4.5” x 7.125”. Toning to interior pages, and some creasing to covers. Very good condition. Sold for $7,500.
