It's an Apple branded Silicon Valley poster, which explains the unbridled
hype. There are many variations of this poster, over many years.
I doubt just any old Silicon Valley poster would be fawned over as this one
has been by the Pawn Stars clowns. Then again, people generally aren't very
discerning in regards to stuff like this, so it's possible that they're
establishing a floor in old computer poster prices.
Get them while they're still cheap, folks.

They are asking $799.00.
In comparison they are also asking $699 for a trs-80 model 3.

Thanks for the tip.
I found the episode ==>
https://play.history.com/shows/pawn-stars-do-america/season-1/episode-4
I watched through the entire insidious thing. Unfortunately, the Silicon
Valley poster never comes up.
However, there is a Apple ][+ that they buy for $700 (lol) at timemark
1:55, and at 17:21 some jabronis bring in some mini stand-up arcade games
and then they eventually end up in their warehouse full of pinball
machines.
What an obnoxious show. It's just Antiques Roadshow but with bad
dialogue
and annoying personalities.
Regardless, if you can remember which episode the poster was in, I'd
still like to watch that.

Having a good hi Def scan would indeed be nice.
Having this thing show up on pawn stars probably helped kick the price
