The 1996 Topps Chrome Karl Malone Refractor #178 is a Basketball card (Refractor parallel) released in 1996. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $70.00.

Is it worth grading?
With raw copies near $70.00 and top grades reaching $1,476.00, 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.
