We know Steve Jobs as the visionary Apple co-founder that brought us some really revolutionary products like the iPod, the MacBook and the iPhone.
However, his legacy includes yet another great achievement -- he was the co-founder, chairman and (later) CEO of Pixar, the animation studio that brought us movies like Toy Story, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, among several others.?

And if you're someone who really loved Steve Jobs and Toy Story, you could actually purchase a one-of-a-kind Toy Story Poster signed by Steve Jobs himself.
The poster is 24-inches by 36-inches in dimension and it sports the stars of Toy Story Woody and Buzz Lightyear on it. Legend has it that Jobs signed the piece in 1995 when it made its debut as world's first film that was made entirely using computer-animated imagery.?
The movie went on to win three Academy Awards while also completely shattering box office records at that time, earning approximately over $300 million.?
The signed poster of Pixar's Toy Story is being auctioned at Nate D. Sanders Auctions on Thursday, August 29th. The minimum bid for the poster is going to start at $25,000 (which is approximately Rs 17.9 lakhs)

Pixar was later acquired by Disney and Steve Job (for a whopping $4 billion) was one of the highest stakeholders with a position on the board of directors.?
The auction page also reveals that there are less than 10 Steve Jobs autographed items that exist, making them, as well as this poster, pretty rare. In April, a 'Ten Year Of Creativity' plaque signed by Steve Jobs was also up for auction.?
The plaque was issued to Suzzane Lindberg in the year 2000, to recognise employees who contributed a decade of personal achievement to Apple's success. The auction price for the plaque was expected to be around $15,000 or around Rs 10 lakhs.?
