Larry,

There were bunches of the original Apple IIs made, so they probably 
aren't worth all that much.  The real collector's items are, of course, 
the Apple I boards, which fetch anywhere from $10,000 to $50,000, 
depending on who you talk to.  Still, for $5, I'd grab it.  Apples are 
Apples, and IMO, they're all useful.  Besides, that's the one that comes 
with Integer BASIC on-board, which lets you do a rest into the 
monitor--handy for snooping into programs.
