American tennis player and professional golfer (1927-2003) who became the first African-American to win a Grand Slam title in 1956. Beautiful vintage glossy 8 x 10 head-and-shoulders photo of Gibson, signed and inscribed in ballpoint, “To Vaughn, Good to see you again, Best Regards, Althea Gibson.” In very good condition, with Gibson’s signature a shade light, scattered surface creasing, a ding and tack hole to top edge, a tiny tear to right edge, a stray ink mark (touching end of the inscription), and a PSA/DNA label affixed to the reverse; none of which affect the otherwise gorgeous image. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from PSA/DNA.
