PSA Jumbo Holders Question

Anyone heard anything?

Wouldn't The National Copper Plates (like the M101-1s) be too large for their holders? I called as well and asked about the M101-2s and other issues that are 8.5 x 11 and smaller and was told there was no word on what oversized issues they would grade at this point. The holders are just for documents and photos. Bummer...

I suspect it will not be long before they start putting more than photos and documents in - They are struggling financially and I am sure will not miss the opportunity for a new income stream. Just think of all the possible additions to the set registry!

Yeah, this will be a big deal to the Set Registry if people can add new cards to player sets: larger photo pack cards, premiums, etc.

"Hello Everyone,

For the record, we can use the Jumbo Holder for more than just original photos, autographs and documents.

As long we grade the type of collectible, we can utilize the holder.

That includes card issues.

Wow, awesome

...The Dixie Premium is about 8 1/4 by 10 1/4 and there is still a good bit of spare space inside the slab.

..This one has no holes punched in it because it never left the printer's office.

Maybe I should go back to sleep and read this again later but prior to having the jumbo holder they would not grade the type of card issues that would fit in the jumbo holders so what is Joe saying? He might want to elaborate on what specific card issues he is referring to and then tell his customer service. They are telling everyone "no" to any mainstream oversized card issues.

Joe's post doesn't mention a timeline to implement, just that PSA will do it.

I got these back from PSA a few weeks ago, but just go around to scanning them. Unfortunately, you really need a larger size scanner (e.g., an A3 scanner) to be able to scan the entire holder. Here is the photo (sorry for the reflection) and a scan of the Pathe Freres.
