Most expensive business card in the world: How much did Steve Jobs’ autographed business card sell for? (photo)

A rare company business card signed by Apple co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs was sold at auction for $181,183 and set a new price record, according to Boston's RR Auction auction house.

A few days ago, while the auction was still going on, it was reported that the price had reached $53,594, but in the end the amount was much higher.

The business card is dated 1983 and, according to the auction house, has been authenticated by the renowned PSA appraisal service. The card features Apple's old six-color logo, along with the company's former address of 10495 Bandley Drive, Cupertino, California. Jobs is listed as the chairman of Apple's board of directors.

Experts confirmed that this auction set a new record price for the sale of a signed business card.

Jobs died in 2011 at the age of 56. Throughout his career, he did not want to sign autographs, so items with his signature often sell for large sums of money. Last year, a check signed by Jobs sold at auction for more than $100,000.
