As part of the "Steve Jobs and the Apple Revolution" event, RR Auction will sell a number of Apple and Steve Jobs collectibles, including the Apple-1 computer, a 4GB original iPhone, Apple-1 Polaroids photos that Jobs used to introduce the product, Jobs' flight jacket, etc.


A functioning Apple-1 computer is being auctioned off from former Apple employee Dana Redington. It originally came from the "trade-in" pile in Jobs' office and was given to Redington by Jobs and Wozniak. Apple-1 expert Corey Cohen restored the machine. Bids are now approaching $100,000, and the Apple-1 is expected to sell for more than $300,000.


Several original Polaroids that Jobs used to show Paul Terrell the Apple-1 are for sale. Terrell ordered the Apple-1 as part of his sales pitch at The Byte Shop. The photos are expected to fetch more than $30,000.


An unsealed 4GB iPhone is also for sale, the device is in original condition and still in the box. Original iPhones have been selling for over $50,000, with rare 4GB models fetching over $190,000. RR Auctions expects the latest 4GB iPhone to fetch over $80,000.


A jacket worn by Steve Jobs in an iconic 1983 photo in which he rolled his eyes at an IBM sign in New York City is up for auction and could fetch as much as $75,000.


Other items included two Apple Computer checks signed by Jobs, a Polaroid photo of Jobs' NeXT ID badge, a Jobs business card, Jobs' 1972 high school yearbook, several vintage magazines with Jobs on the cover, and several classic Apple Macs and memorabilia.
