1988 Apple Framed Stock Certificate
$100 invested in Apple on this day in 1988 would be worth over $18,000 today, making this framed certificate a relative bargain. It bears the signature of former Pepsi and Apple CEO John Sculley, who was lured to Cupertino by Steve Jobs, who asked him, "Do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life? Or do you want to come with me and change the world?". Just two years later, in 1985, Sculley and Jobs became ensnared in a power struggle that ended in Jobs' resignation from the company, making this an interesting artifact from Apple's first post-Jobs era. It arrives in a custom frame with acid-free mats and backing and a UV protective acrylic cover.
