My first reaction was to get it graded. The downside of that is time as it will take a month or two to go through that process. Assuming the card does grade, the 4-5 range gives it a value of $1,300-$2,500 (range of VCP averages at 4 and 5).
Many other routes to take but the grading route (SGC or PSA) likely gives you the best result and should be worth the cost to do so.
As an aside, we are currently dealing with a large collection of model trains, cars and die cast stuff my father had when he passed away late last year. The best advice I received was to sell it as a lot or large groups if you're going to sell any of it. Once you start pulling the good stuff from the group, what's left may be more difficult to sell. Everyone will handle it a little differently but that advice has served us well so far! Good luck to you and the family!!
