Recently, PSA announced that a brand new service is being created for the grading of unopened packs. We hope to have a variety of sizes completed within the next 3-6 weeks so we can start accepting packs from the public soon. We will also have some of our completed holders on display at the National so hobbyists can see the product.
In addition, PSA has also created two new inserts for our largest holder. These new custom inserts are available for grading today!
This holder, which is generally used for the grading of 1911 Turkey Reds (T3's), will now have the capability of encapsulating more supersized issues.
The new inserts will measure 5 1/16 x 7 1/16 and 4 13/16 x 6 5/16.
The primary purpose of each insert is:
To provide an enhanced, custom fit to those cards that measure approximately 5x7. Cards eligible will include issues such as 1958-1965 Jay Publishing Picture Packs and a host of post-1980 supersized specialty cards manufactured by Donruss and Topps.
To provide an exact fit for 1977-79 Sportscaster cards, a very colorful set that contains some interesting cards like early examples of Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and Wayne Gretzky in addition to almost 2,000 other subjects!
We hope that this new holder will provide a better fit for the cards that measure within the tolerances listed above and help create new markets for cards that have never been offered in PSA grading form before. >>

Then again...they are fairly abundant and B&W issues are kinda of boring.
Who knows ...T3 was a fantastic buy a few years ago...and a few people made money when they started grading 64 topps giants.
I Guess that if you get in early enough and summit HOF'ers and other fan favorites you might do ok.
I wonder what a PSA 8 + Mantle would sell for...these holder are a bit more expensive
