1996 Skybox Premium Armon Gilliam Rubies #265 value & prices

The 1996 Skybox Premium Armon Gilliam Rubies #265 is a Basketball card (Rubies parallel) released in 1996. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $8.50.

An ungraded copy is worth around $8.50, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $103.50 and a pristine BGS 10 around $135.00. That's roughly a 12× premium for a gem-mint copy over raw — one of the clearest signals that condition-sensitive buyers dominate this card's market.

Is it worth grading?

With raw copies near $8.50 and top grades reaching $103.50, grading a sharp copy of this card can clearly pay for itself — the spread comfortably covers a typical ~$25.00 grading fee. The catch: only submit copies with strong centering, clean corners, and unmarked surfaces, because anything below a 9 usually erases the math.
