Of course it's worth something.
Not much, but it's relative.
My WAG is about $20 if you can find a buyer.
Without authentication, it's worth whatever somebody is willing to pay for it. If you send it in to PSA for grading/authentication, you'll obviously have an easier time selling it (assuming it passes authentication).
That being said, unless it comes back with high grades for the card and auto, you're probably not really going to get a whole lot when selling it, especially after factoring the cost of grading/authentication. Grace was an excellent player, but the fact that he's not a HOF player and that his rookie card is prime "junk era", when cards were produced in huge numbers, means that it's not going to fetch very high prices. To give you an idea of value, there is currently one for sale on eBay by 4 Sharp Corners with a card grade 10 and auto grade 10 for $109.99.
I got my Grace Topps rookie signed at a show a few years ago and sent it in for grading/authentication. I have no intention of selling it. I'm just a life-long Cubs fan that grew up watching Grace, Sandberg, and Dawson as a kid in the 80s and they have a special place in my heart. The grading/authentication is more for my family having a way to get money for my cards if something happens to me.
