Some people are fans of musicians and athletes.
Much like with any other celebrities, people also long for an autograph from their heroes.
Over 40 years ago, someone decided to shoot their shot and reach out to Jobs for his signature.

This inspired a person named L.N.
However, Jobs, who passed away in 2011, wasn’t a crowd pleaser.
He was known to decline most autograph requests both in person and through the mail.
Jobs' message reads, Im honored that youd write, but Im afraid I dont sign autographs.
Jobs then signed the letter with his famous lowercase signature in black ink.
This made the artifacts related to his legacy even more sought-after.
When the 1983 letter was auctioned by RR Auction, it sold for $478,939.
The auction housedescribedit as a great, early autograph from the Apple founder.
Still, nothing may ever come close to the cleverness of the letter.
