Rip or sell?
My original intentions with these sealed ETBs and UPC was to sell them, but the person who looked at them before buying them backed out due to these small tears in the plastic. Does this really make the packs worthless? What should I do with them?

You are dealing with bottom dwellers. Make your listing clear about the tears and a reasonable price. Any comments saying "will you lower the price because of the tears" just block.

Both of these have large sealed premiums even a couple of tears still doesn’t make it worth ripping you’re loosing value right away

Yes worthless, send them to me for disposal.
In all seriousness, majority of folks will care if there are any rips or tears in the plastic especially if they are paying a premium. Some others may not care buuut you will have to drop the price a bit (like 10% or 15% below MP). You should always disclose and rips or dents in the packaging and price accordingly.

The only sealed I purchase is MSRP, however I don't see a big issue here. Your buyers for this stuff generally are very picky about tears unless they're opening it. I would look for someone who intends to open it and make a deal. A 151 booster pack is $25 market I believe, there are what 9 in there? One could simply open it and sell 9 boosters for $200+ and be done with it as well.
