Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Kellen Winslow [Blue] #80 sells for $320 against $5.00 raw: a $315 spread, 64× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($55.77) clears the raw price after an economy-tier ~$25 fee, so a near-miss still comes out ahead. Centering is the usual reason a clean copy misses the 10 — measure it before you submit.
