Pixar items signed by Jobs are very rare, with this example being among the most unique we've encountered. The product of Jobs' legendary vision, ''Toy Story'' was the first computer-animated feature film and also the first film released by Pixar, the company whose risky investment by Jobs made him a billionaire. ''Toy Story'' went on to earn three Academy Award nominations, break box office records and secure its reputation as one of the finest animated movies of all time.
