"Steve Wozniak, Principal Engineer"—two early personal and business cards of the Apple Computer co-founder

Scarce pairing of early calling cards for Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak:

Circa 1983 Apple Computer business card, 3.5 x 2, listing him as "Steve Wozniak, Principal Engineer." The off-white card features the iconic 'rainbow' version of the Apple 'byte' logo, and lists the company's address at "5300 Stevens Creek Blvd., Suite 500, San Jose, California 95129."

Wozniak’s personal calling card from the mid-to-late 1980s, 3.5 x 2, with printed name, “Steve (Woz) Wozniak,” address, “21435 Summit Road, Los Gatos, CA 95030,” and telephone number, “(408) 353-3333,” with an engraved image of Wozniak’s former Redwood Ridge estate nestled at the summit of the Santa Cruz Mountains. In overall fine condition, with expected wear and soiling from use.

Per Woz himself: ‘Those cards were from the very start of Apple. The personal card was for my home on the summit and I was very proud of the phone number 353-3333 because, at that time, you could not get all 7 digits the same in the 408 area code. They didn’t allow the same numbers in the 408 area code (San Jose) and 415 area code (San Francisco) and the 415 area code had them all, 222-2222, 333-3333, etc.’
