Then there's the motherboard of an Apple 1 that reportedly cost US$666.66 back in '76 but whose value has increased six hundred times since then.

Reports said the Apple 1 motherboard in the possession of Bonham is one of 50 motherboards assembled by Steve Wozniak. These motherboards were customized only for Paul Terrell of Byte Shops. Also, these motherboards were built in the garage of Steve Jobs' family.

DNA of Steve Wozniak, dust from the Jobs' family garage and a piece from the first ever set of motherboards. Is that awesome or what?

According to Apple, there were over 200 Apple 1 units made. Only 63 were listed under Mike Willegas' Apple 1 Registry this January. The one with Bonham that has the number 01-0070 is in the list and is one of 15 still working.

Back in 2010, another Apple 1 was auctioned for US$210,000 in an auction in London.

Aside from the Apple 1, an item that will be up for auction include an Apple European headquarters flag from 1996, which could fetch from US$1,500 to US$2,500.

If and when you guys want to take part in the auction, be sure to contact Bonhams a week before the event. So reserve the date.
