Warring thoughts here. On one side, there’s the collector, owning a snippet of Steve Jobs, a bit of history. Sports cards have been doing this for a long time, offering cards, with a bit of a players’ uniform, a sliver of bat, an original signature, all designed to pump up the rarity, increase the card’s value.

But on the other side, there’s the complete lack of a resale market, and the certainty of the phone losing its value as a phone over time.

Want to save a bit of money? Consider the Steve Jobs New Balance sneakers with the Think Different laces, at about 1/5 the price.
