Hi
All of the Colby gloves I've seen are imported models - the leather is usually a dead giveaway.

the glove i have is a Koufax autograph model, but it needs some work like relacing, do you think it would be worth the money and effort? Would somebody like to buy it if i cleaned it up?

Hard to tell, sight unseen, without knowing what condition it's in now.
I charge about $30 to restore a glove like this, with cleaning, conditioning, re-shaping the pocket and all new laces. The book value for an imported Koufax glove in "average" condition isn't much more than that.
And I seldom see these sell for full book value.
It might be worth restoring as a collectible for yourself, or you just might get lucky and and find a big Koufax fan willing to pay top dollar.
