I think Beckett is fine, and they arguably have the most bullet-proof holder of the three major TPG's. Due to their insert, they holder many very fragile cards that PSA and SGC cannot holder. They're usually just as reliable as PSA or SGC, but obviously, they don't have the market share that those two TPG's have in prewar, so their prewar cards often sell for less

Let's see those cards before you completely count them out. Maybe there is a legitimate reason why Beckett didn't holder those cards. I know there was one time that I sent a very fragile E95 Honus Wagner to SGC to holder. However, SGC would not holder it because they said it was a "zombie" card. That is, parts of the card were glued back to the original card. They said that if I took those "zombie" parts off, they would review it again, and in the end, the card was holdered. It may be a similar situation here, where you could go back to Beckett again to holder the card. Also, if like PSA and SGC, they would not charge you (or give you a credit) if they did not holder the card due to fragility (or the spec was not available).
