I'm new to PSA, and looking for insight from anyone who has submitted 1971 Topps Super (baseball) for grading. I am trying to confirm if the PSA holder for these cards will be Tallboy or Supersize, which makes a big difference in price for a large collection. Card dimensions are 3 1/8 x 5 1/4, and I've received conflicting information on which holder will be used. I am hoping someone on the forum has first hand experience submitting 1971 Topps Supers, who can confirm if the holder is Tallboy or Supersize. Thanks!

A quick search on Worthpoint looks like it may be the Tallboys.

Yep, those are tallboy holders.
Hi Eric. Thank you, but my question is, are those considered Tallboy or Supersized holders? Can you tell just by looking at them?
I think my question has been answered. Thank you!
The easy way to tell after finding an image, the flip on a tallboy nearly covers the width of the holder ...
Supersize only half-ish ...
(Jumbos - less than 1/3, standard - goes edge to edge)
This is extremely helpful and appreciated.
According to PSA, the maximum card size that can go into a Tallboy is 3 1/2 x 5 1/6 inches. 1971 Topps Supers are 3 1/8 x 5 1/4 inches -- which should be too tall for a Tallboy according to the PSA site. I trust the feedback that was shared on this thread. But its frustrating because when I call PSA Support, they insist that 1971 Topps Supers would be held in a Supersized holders. I own several graded 71 Supers and am sure these are not Supersized holders.
Support just affirms what is published, not what actually happens. Tallboys hold up to 5 1/2" height easily. The Mueller I posted above in a tallboy is the largest I'm aware of that gets slabbed in one. Pictured next to a Topps Super for comparison ...
