The article said, "..founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak built in a family garage.",  which probably means a pre-production unit that they actually built in their garage.  There would be very few of those.  They built a few in the garage and sold them to fellow computer club members, who were so enthusiastic about the computer that the dynamic duo decided to try to make a business of it.  Or so I have read.  The usual garage-sale/antique-store Apples won't fetch nearly so much in an auction.
