1985 Vintage full color photograph of young Mike Tyson in fight pose and appearing at the genesis of his career. Autographed to a friend of the photographer named Howard, the photo has an accompanying letter from the manager of Tyson, Jim Jacobs, about THIS image which is dated April 30, 1985, the month after Tyson made his professional debut! The photograph is one of Tyson's most famous of all time and it comes encapsulated by PSA as a Type 1, but it is also autographed to the man who retrieved the negatives out of storage for the iconic Jim Jacobs (Howard) in Tyson's earliest style of handwriting, looking like a kid practicing how he would sign his name if he ever became famous! An incredible piece of boxing history, this is the finest image of Tyson we have ever handled and among the finest known in the world! Offered here for the first time ever, this has to rank among the earliest Tyson autographs in the industry as well!
