I was under the impression that pg_reset_xlog (I think that's how it's
spelt) could allow you to see the old tuples assuming they hadn't been
vacuumed and reused.
But of course, like those two messages make it clear, seeing deleted
tuples can cause some serious issues. Always copy your data/base
directory to another computer and play with that copy in case something
bad happens.
Oh, and to the OP... start taking backups.
