Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Kurt Warner #2 sells for $463 against $314 raw: a $149 spread, 1.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($340) 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.
