Auction over Steve Jobs' Atari job application stopped amid disarray

pcgamer.com:

Before becoming synonymous with fruit and turtlenecks, Steve Jobs spent a brief spell at Atari, which at the time was the biggest videogame company in the world. Hired by the legendary Al Alcorn—best-known for creating Pong—in 1974, when he was only 18, Jobs became Atari employee number 40.

The original letter was to be accompanied by an NFT of the letter—inexplicably—in RR Auction's 'The Steve Jobs Revolution: Engelbart, Atari, and Apple'.
