Really sorry about your mays and bench. That's exactly what I worry about, and for sure 2 of my favorite-looking from that set. I wonder if stabbing is part of the issue, straightening the cards out when they already have had a slight curl, thus stressing and ultimately cracking the plastic over time.
A tad off topic, but the issue reminds me of some of my mid 70s topps sets, where some of the cards appear a bit curled in sheets after having sat upright in boxes for a number of years (especially 73 and my two 76 sets). I have wondered if the cardboard stock from the mid 1970s sets was a little cheaper than what came before and after from topps
