1. I suggest getting it "graded" by either Beckett or PSA/DNA, it will be worth more then.
2. It all depends on the condition of the card. In near-mint condition it can be worth up to $450. The value is what somebody is willing to pay for the card. You have a potentially valuable card.
3. Condition is based on the amount of wear and other flaws on a card, not the age. When someone says 'it's in good condition for the age', it may be an accurate statement as far as how one perceives the way the card looks, but that has no bearing on the true condition. A mint condition card that's 50 years old cannot have more wear or other flaws than a brand new card in mint condition. That is why old cards in mint condition are so expensive, because there aren't too many of them. However, there are a lot of old cards that are in 'decent for their age' condition, and they sell for way, way below what a REAL near-mint card will. Your card, if it has no creases, holes or other damage and is not mis-cut, is worth $50 - $100. If it's got creases but no holes, in the $30-$40 range. If it looks like the corners are still sharp 'points' with no fuzziness, it would be worth having PSA grade it.
