It's possible that a professional paper conservator could remove the cards more carefully and avoid most or all of the back damage. You would have to pay him a fee, but if it translated into higher grades, it would more than pay for itself. Either way, my guess is you are buying the cards right so you're probably ahead of the game even with the back damage. But there's no way to get a high grade with paper loss, that's just the way it is.
