Just documenting my near complete set. Most of these I have graded myself and are very clean copies.
I am still missing Ninetales, Clefairy and Machamp if anyone has for sale!
Blastoise sadly has a hair inside the slab…it’s pristine! At some point ill reslab.
This Poli was a PSA 9 new cert…then BGS quad 9 (BGS USA) then BGS 8.5 (BGS EU). It’s too nice for an 8.5, ill resub it at some point.

Awesome collection! We seldom see Beckett sets being made on e4 so it’s super cool to see this

Beautiful cards! Always love to see Shadowless 
Good luck finding the last few! The finished set would look great in a frame/display!

Thank you!
Sadly (or thankfully) shadowless is underappreciated I think. It’s special to me - I really enjoy the lore behind it.

Just beautiful! Really lovely collection and also wonderful to see it in these slabs and with such great grades. To be able to grade them all yourself is also a really amazing achievement. Good luck on finding the missing pieces and hopefully you can complete the set soon. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers!

For some reason finding shadowless cards in the wild gets me more excited than 1st ed. That’s awesome you were able to grade most of them yourself. If only I could find copies that clean
Are you planning on sourcing the others yourself? I imagine at this point it must be difficult.
Beautiful collection and thanks for sharing. I’m jelly.

Lovely collection and so much appreciation for these cards, so great to see them all together!
That sinking feeling when you’ve been forgotten though..

It’s absolutely dry at the moment! I used to be buying a card every month or so but literally not found anything online that fits my criteria.
Slowly but surely I’ll grab them 
And yeah, shadowless does hit different than 1st edition. I don’t know why but I find the lore quite romantic

Some more (non-shadowless) cards in my collection - adding them here as may make it into a collection thread.
I try to grade most myself, but some are also cards I felt were particularly high condition.
T17 is oc but very clean surface and back.

Forgot to upload this guy - thanks @magikarpflail for the poke!
New cert PSA 9 → Quad BGS 9 (BGS USA) → BGS 8.5 (from BGS EU)
It’s too clean for an 8.5 - BGS EU are lame. Zero surface issues, no idea how they got 8.5 surface.
I thought it would 9++ with an outside chance of a 9.5 basic (9 corners).

Definitely seems like a harsh grade.
I have to say, I really like how the shadowless set looks in the BGS slabs, just seems to suit them quite well
