  Use Scryfall to search up the price, note different versions of the same card can have different values. A card might be worth 1k in alpha, but 2 cents for the recent printing versions. When in doubt, post it on r/magicTCG or seek advice. Sell it to reputable game stores like 401 or face to face or on eBay. If the card is in great condition, you might want to have it graded.
