Pepis has been accused of getting fake/resealed packs passed PSA. Pepis even admitted that he did in fact fool PSA. PSA turned him into the FBI. Perhaps these packs were on the list of suspected packs that got passed them. Were these packs on that list Jose?

As far as auction catalogs go, you can provide pictures of what you have for sale. As simple as that. Everyone on eBay provides scans of items they are selling, including PSA graded cards.

Auction catalogs and your book are far removed from this eBay/pack situation. This pack situation may be an interesting topic, but it is barely if at all related to your book copyright questions.

As a writer but not a lawyer, my lay guess is if your book is historical in content and you picture some historically relevant PSA graded cards, you will not get in trouble and PSA will not object.

One problem for me is I don't know what the book is about. I'm speculating about speculation.
