(1) Go to a dealer in ephemera, or antique papers, and ask what they will pay you for it. They're bidding AT MOST 50% of what they can get for it (maybe as little as a few percent of what they can get), and they're testing you to see whether you are ignorant enough to accept their bid. It's a game: the dealer isn't nasty or evil; it's just business. Whatever the dealer bids, politely decline the bid. Take a photo, describe the V's condition carefully, and sell it on eBay about 3 weeks before next VDay. Your eBay auction starting bid should be what the dealer bid.
(2) If there's any printer's company info on the Valentine, google it, with and without the estimated year. An online dealer in ephemera may have similar items for sale, which is more pricing info. Understand that this online price is extremely high; the online dealer will be trying to snag a desperate, extravagant buyer. Did this help?

A lot in sentimental value to the family members. You may want to contact the antique shops to find out about the dollar value. It will depend on the condition of the card. It's probably not much unless there's a reference to some historucal event.
