3. I’m not looking to sell it, I just think it’s a cool piece with Mantle and Berra on it, but would like an idea of value.
Thanks all!

It's from the July 9-10-11 series.
Killebrew is on the Senators roster, he signed on June 19, 1954
Houk is on the Yankees roster, he was released on July 22, 1954
None of the lineups exactly match, but I would guess it's the July 10 game.
Thank you to Retrosheet for the info (which Baseball Reference uses for their site).
No opinion on value from me, I only collect scored programs and scorecards. If it is that game, some would claim that Whitey Ford got his second career save, a (stupid) stat that didn't exist yet. Bob Wiesler did get his second career win and his second career hit. Bunky Stewart got on base for the second time in his career.
