Alex, one question I would ask first-have you cracked a Beckett slab before? If you haven't, and decide to proceed with the crossover, I would send the cards as is. I wouldn't want to see you get hurt, or damage the cards. There may be an easy way to pop them open, but I've not seen it.
I personally have never cross graded from Beckett to PSA, so take this with a grain of salt. To the best of my recollection based on prior conversations on Net 54, Beckett is slightly more lenient when it comes to grading pre-war and vintage cards. Now, it's possible that has changed, and if you feel the cards are indeed undergraded, maybe you should give it a try.
I'll be interested to see what other forum members think. Good luck if you decide to proceed.
