Default Need Advice on where to sell a card: 1887 Old Judge Honest John Kelly

Hi All! New member here. I'm usually active at the Collectors Universe (CU) forums (usually PCGS), so I'm more of a coin guy. I've collected baseball cards in my childhood, of course it was during 1988 through 1992, which are apparently the most over-produced cards on the planet, haha. Anyhow, about 15 years ago I decided to purchase a couple of older cards to have in my collection. One was a seemingly common Bergen T206 (Brooklyn) card. The other was an 1887 Old Judge Baseball card for some Umpire named Kelly.

Looked like it might be a little bit rarer so after posting it on the Sports card section of CU, the guys pointed out a PSA 2 that sold for $440 recently. Link is here...

Figure I'd send mine to SCG for grading. Came back 40/VG/3 (however SGC grades are written out). Pretty exciting!! So the question now is... what's the best way to sell this thing? And, if a 2 went for around $440, could anyone estimate what this one could fetch?

I saw a couple of Registry sets on SGC for the N172 Old Judge sets. Do you think it would be "bad form" to email some participants there seeing if they would be interested?

Thanks for your help!
