Well above 5k for a great 1. The demand for such a card is enormous. And there are a literal handful of lower grade specimens with strong eye appeal. The price will keep escalating as well. It may outpace saving depending on the rate of the latter.
I'd study VCP grids; get to know every example that sold, how much, when, in what venue, and what its strengths and flaws are. In that respect the homework is rather simple-- study the cards and their sales.
Hope that helps. I also agree on variation preference but with this card one sometimes feels lucky just to have one that's not wrecked-- let alone with any modicum of eye appeal!
Best,
Matt
