( CNN ) -- Forgive the pun : Want a slice of early Apple history ? Three of the legal documents that detail the founding of the revolutionary computer company are going up for auction soon -- some two months after the death of co-founder Steve Jobs . Sotheby 's , the auction house that 's hosting the sale , expects the legal papers to sell for $ 100,000 to $ 150,000 . `` The 1976 document , which once belonged to Ronald G. Wayne , one of Apple 's founders along with Steven P. Jobs and Stephen G. Wozniak , is the first chapter in the story of one of America 's most important companies , '' Sotheby 's says in a press release . Here 's a list of what 's included in the auction : . -- Apple 's original partnership agreement , signed on April 1 , 1976 , by Jobs , Steve Wozniak and Apple 's `` forgotten founder , '' Ron Wayne . According to Walter Isaacson in his new `` Steve Jobs '' biography , Jobs signed the document in lower-case letters , `` Wozniak in careful cursive and Wayne in an illegible squiggle . '' The trio signed the document in Wayne 's apartment and split their stakes in the company unevenly : Jobs and Wozniak both got 45 % ; Wayne , who came to the confab late as a consultant of sorts , got a 10 % share . -- A dissolution of contract , in which Wayne excused himself from the company for $ 800 . He later received an additional $ 1,500 payment . Bad move , right ? His stock options today would be worth more than $ 30 billion . But Wayne told CNN in 2010 that he does n't regret the decision , which he based on the fact that another company he founded had gone poorly . `` What can I say ? You make a decision based on your understanding of the circumstances and you live with it , '' he said . -- And a second founding agreement , in which Jobs , the marketing master , and Wozniak , the coding genius , outlined their plans for the company that would help bring about the personal computer revolution and create the iPod , iPhone and , most recently , the iPad . The documents originally belonged to Wayne and were given to Sotheby 's through a university archives , the auction house 's website says . A Sotheby 's spokesman said the company could not provide more information but emphasized that Wayne had not sold the documents directly to the auction house . `` The consigner bought the documents in the mid-1990s from a manuscript dealer who had acquired them from Wayne , '' Bloomberg reports , citing Richard Austin , head of manuscripts at Sotheby 's in New York . Austin told that news organization : `` It was right before Jobs rejoined Apple . At the time , everyone thought that Apple was pretty much finished . '' The auction will be held on December 13 in New York . People can also bid on the documents simultaneously online . So far , Twitter chatter about the sale is mostly positive , with online pundits joking that they want to add the documents to their holiday shopping lists and pondering what will be the ultimate sticker price of these bits of history .
