  Hey Paul. Here's the link to the thread regarding the Funny Foldees. There seems to be no one who can step forward and say what year they collected these cards, but they could have been issued as early as 1949 probably in gum packs. I see no reason why PSA wouldn't grade them, but you rarely see them in high grade. Once the perforations are broken, they don't grade well. I have a graded near-set of the Valentine Foldees and I have never seen Funny Foldees that resemble the condition of the latter issues.
  
  Edited to add: there are 66 cards in the set. They are grouped in different colors; the side with the set name has the two end pieces in the same color as the center piece on the other side; the center piece of the front is bordered with two strips (top and bottom) each being a different color. Those colors are also used to border the two end pieces on the reverse, one color on each side. The bordering colors are in parentheses - I don't have the complete set, but, from what I do have, I know the following (question mark represents educated guess):
  #1 - 11 (?) = yellow (blue/red)
  #12(?) - 22 = blue (red/yellow)
  #23 - 33 = red (yellow/green)
  #34 - 43 = orange (yellow/blue)
  #44 - at least 52 = green (yellow/red)
  the rest - 66 = again yellow (green/orange)
