About a few months ago, I got these 1997-98 Pinnacle Masks Jumbos from the guy I buy a lot of my cards from. I have 3 of them. I know about the entire scanning process where we need scans only but since these cards are giant and are about 2 sizes of my printer/scanner, would I be able to take a picture of them and post the images that way or no? 

Doesn't your editing software have a stitching tool?  You can scan it in sections and then stitch them together.

Yes. I believe it does. I would have to look and see. I didn't think about that. I may have to try that out. Thanks!

Not too long ago, I created a listing for these as "1997-98 Pinnacle Uncut", which currently can be found in the "Oddball" subset of 1997-98 hockey card releases.

I only added pictures of a few that I had in the "Packaging" section, as examples of the front & back of the pack and the cards themselves.  I don't know if this set would be allowed an exception to the no-photo rule, due to their size - but as you pointed out, there is no way to scan these on a typical flatbed scanner.  I do know that if pictures are allowed for the individual cards on the checklist, they would have to be taken out of the wrapper first.  I see that a Roy collector has posted a photo in the "Pinnacle Jumbo" insert set of 1997-98 Pinnacle Hockey, but it's still sealed in the wrapper.

That "Jumbo" (Beckett nomenclature?) listing should probably be removed (or renamed), as these sheet-sized "Uncut" cards clearly were not inserted into packs or even as box toppers of '97-98 Pinnacle.  Maybe this could be moved into that base hockey product listing as a stand-alone insert set (up top) with the necessary Notes & Comments.

This was a 12-inch album sleeve I had to scan in sections and stitch.

E Pluribus Funk for the win!
