shadow63: if you're waiting to sell it then that will be a bad idea. as more time passes, more packs get opened, supply increases.

Tony that only works while the sets in production. If op is willing to wait years the card could end up being worth an absurd amount

If you're not willing to wait several years then sell now.

They could reprint in the future. I'd say sell it in the next week, sooner = better.

To give you the long version as short as possible
When a set is still in print, new supply is still entering the market. Seeing as Core21 is still a very new set, and still in print, the value of the card will continue to decrease in the short term. However, the card will likely gain value after the initial dip downwards as the supply begins to dry up. This is the trend for almost every money card released in any new set, with the exception of tournament staple cards (and usually lands). Alternate and fancy art does make things a bit different but the same idea. More showcase Grim Tutor's are going to get into player hands and onto the market in the following months, so the price will decrease unless there is a surge of demand (tournament use, or more likely, EDH use).
My personal take? Sell it now or sell it 5 years down the road. Waiting any amount of time over a week to move this card will probably have negative impact on the price. If you wait over a week, wait 5 years. It is unlikely to be picked up as a tournament card for standard/modern to drive short term price, and legacy/vintage certainly don't want the card. EDH boys and collectors are going to be the largest price driver for Grim Tutor, and time will help both of those audiences develop demand for the card. Seeing as this is a chase rare, I find future reprints unlikely, at least in a window of 5-10 years.

Speaking of "still in print", I'm also curious, does anyone know how long does the newest set is "still in print"? Does it last for its whole time in standard, or just a fraction of time within 2 year of legality from its release?

Depends on how long your willing to wait
