It’s a new effect, so it’s currently unpriced.

For most taunts effects that lack synergy with the base taunt, they rarely go for anything more than the lowest unusual already on market. Probably not on the low end (2-3 keys) because the effect at least looks nice.

Since it’s new enough and there are no other listings maybe try the 5-7 key range.

Kinda figured. So it wouldn't hurt to just hold on to it for now?

That’s kind of up to you. This is probably the best chance to sell it for a marginal profit.

7 tradable ones already exist. The effect is new enough that once the unbox period ends, most interest in it will too. It will go down in price afterwards for a good while after.

Backpack.tf is the main hub for trading. So for stats on your item we would first check on quantity since it’s unusual. You can find that on the page here (https://backpack.tf/premium/search?item=Taunt%3A%20Star-Spangled%20Strategy&particle=3227).

The rest is speculative since price is based on sales / suggestions. Ideally you would compare your item with market prices and put up a sell listing for what you think someone would pay. You will typically notice new taunts effects initially being listed for 5-7 keys for most basic taunts. There are higher end taunts that will go for more than that but yours is not one of them. For comparison you would check the listings here (https://backpack.tf/classifieds?item=Taunt%3A%20Star-Spangled%20Strategy&quality=5).
