• A pair of sneakers gifted by Steve Jobs himself during an event in Hawaii on Valentine’s Day in 1996.

The collection also includes rare software titles such as a copy Microsoft Word for Macintosh from before it was released publicly as well as a never-before-seen version…

The Importance Of The Collection
