Every Grand Prix will feature an oversized version of the Griselbrand participation promo (you remember that this promo is new starting with this weekend, right?), and the other two oversized promos will be a popular card in the current set, matching the event's playmat where appropriate. This weekend features Sagu Mauler and Villainous Wealth alongside Griselbrand as the oversized cards available as prizes in Baltimore and Milan.
However, the T-shirts aren't the only new addition to Grand Prix prizes. Every Grand Prix in 2015, along with the GPs in Milan and Baltimore, will receive three oversized cards that will be used as prizes during a Grand Prix weekend.
Definitely not a typo - they mean that there will be exactly 3 of those oversized cards per GP. Wording is a little wonky and it would be easy to read it as "all participation promos are oversized", which wouldn't make much sense and would upset a lot of people unnecessarily.
They're saying that one oversized Griselbrand, plus two other oversized cards (Baltimore/Milan it's Mauler and Wealth as you mentioned) will be available to the TO to distribute as they choose as an additional prize, much like the 60 shirts.
I'm hoping they mean oversized = posterboard sized, which would be cool and make sense for only 3 copies for any given GP... but it might be more like the oversized Commander cards, at 5"x3" or whatever they are.

oversized version of the Griselbrand participation promo
The wording about the oversized card refers to another object with the word "version", here. It's talking about two different things here, so you're getting both the normal participation promo AND the oversized version.
they are large foam board versions.. as part of the prize structure for some side event or prize wall.. we had them at gp baltimore this past weekend.. looks pretty nifty

It sure is misleading, whatever it's alluding.

It appears to be a 3-foot tall foil card.
