This is a 1953 Bowman Color baseball card featuring Richie Ashburn. The card stands out for the era with a full-color photographic design, showing Ashburn in a Philadelphia Phillies uniform seated in the dugout with bats visible in the background. The border is white and the card does not feature any facsimile autograph, team logo, or player name on the front, emphasizing the strong and clean photographic style. The card has been professionally graded by PSA as VG-EX 4, indicating a card with light to moderate wear including minor corner rounding and light surface issues, but with strong eye appeal.

Richie Ashburn was a key player of his era, and this card is a desirable collectible, especially due to its early photographic nature and the absence of modern card embellishments.
