Ronald Wayne, Apple Co-Founder, Signed Replica Apple 1 Motherboard
Measuring 15.5" x 9", No place, undated. A replica Apple 1 computer motherboard signed and inscribed by businessman Ronald Wayne. Signed at the right side "Ronald Wayne/Co-Founder, Apple Computer" with an inscription at the lower margin reading, "1st major Apple order to the Byte Shop in Mountain View, California.

Ronald Wayne (b. 1934) co-founded Apple Computer Company (now Apple Inc.) in partnership with Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs, providing administrative oversight for the fledgling company. The partnership did not last long, as twelve days later, he sold his 10% share of the new company back to Jobs and Wozniak for $800. One year later, he accepted $1,500 from the pair to forgo any future claim to the newly incorporated Apple. Despite Apple becoming one of the most valuable companies in the world, Wayne has maintained that he has no regrets, saying "You make a decision based on your understanding of the circumstances, and you live with it."
This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
