The 2026 Upper Deck Artifacts Ilya Protas Aqua Blue #197 is a Hockey card (Aqua Blue parallel) released in 2026. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $11.00.
An ungraded copy is worth around $11.00, a PSA 9 around $27.70, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $82.47 and a pristine BGS 10 around $107.00. That's roughly a 7.5× 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 $11.00 and top grades reaching $82.47, 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.
