Yawn.  I would be more excited if it was the Apple IIGS board.  But the condition of this is A-mazing!

It is, and it's the sole reason I posted it.

Sorry, my post was kind of rude.  I will be interested to see what this thing sells for.

Wow. This makes the one I turned up look like something that had been rotting in the bottom of a dumpster for years! I'll bet watching this auction with great curiosity.

Apple keyboards of this vintage do not age well, cosmetically at least.

Yellowing supposedly happens from UV exposure, but I doubt that many keyboards see much sunlight.
“No political truth is of greater intrinsic value, or is stamped with the authority of more enlightened patrons of liberty: The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands .… may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison, Federalist 47
“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48

What?  You don't leave your board out to catch some rays on a regular basis?  It's essential for their health.
