A former Apple Store employee who used the name "Sam Sung" auctioned off an old business card and employee t-shirt on behalf of a charity.
The auction, listed on eBay as an “Apple Sam Sung business card,” consists of a framed employee t-shirt and lanyard, as well as a business card. Although not normally remarkable, the lot is unusual due to the name printed on the business card: "Sam Sung".
Now known as Sam Struan, the employee was actually Sam Sung when he was a specialist at the Buchanan Street store in Glasgow, Scotland between 2010 and 2012. He later moved to Vancouver and worked at the Pacific Center Apple Store in 2012, reports iPhones in Canadabefore its business card gained notoriety due to the close competition between Apple and its South Korean rival.
After leaving Apple's retail arm in 2013, the employee auctioned off the business card using the Sung last name, raising more than $2 for Children's Wish BC & Yukon.
Since leaving Apple, Struan now works as a career coach.
Earlier in 2022, a family member found another business card created during Struan's time at the Buchanan Street store, which raised the idea of a second charity auction.
Rather than just the calling card, Struan's lot was dressed up considerably, with the shirt, lanyard, and calling card mounted in a frame and behind glass. Struan also signed the glass, "just for fun."
Struan adds, “I hope this card goes to another Apple enthusiast who also wants to contribute to a great cause. »
The auction is due to run until Tuesday and, at press time, has a bid of CAD$620 ($477,35) after 31 bids. Proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Downtown Eastside Women's Center in Vancouver.
