Hi everyone!

A while ago, I picked up these three cards. To me, they're easily among the most nostalgic cards in the entire Pokémon TCG and feature some of the coolest artwork ever printed.

The thing is, I already own a complete unlimited Team Rocket master set, so these are essentially duplicates—just with the little "1st Edition" stamp.

For quite some time now, I've been wondering whether I should try getting them graded. I'm mainly curious to see what grades they would receive.

A bit of background: I generally think slabs are pretty ugly, and I'm a huge advocate for keeping cards raw in a binder. That said, every now and then I'm really tempted to have these three graded just to see how they'd do.

One more important point: PSA isn't an option for me, for pretty much countless reasons. Since I live in Germany, Beckett is basically the only major grading company I'd seriously consider.

I'd love to hear your opinions and grade estimates!

Cheers!

Love 2x2 binders and here is what i got.
