Tried to send this to the original poster but failed, so here it is for the whole group:
I thought it was quite curious that Grizzly would discontinue such an item. I went to their web site (which contains their catalogue) and looked up the items you seem to think you can no longer order from them. Their catalogue does indeed show those items as being available. I thought that perhaps they had only recently been discontinued, so I emailed their customer support. They responded that the items ARE still available. Don't know where you got your information. Their online catalogue, page 100, shows a whole buttload of sleeve sizes still available.
Awright James, here's the email and response from Grizzly: (Actually in reverse order). Try the link I've included here...

Have been told that the sanding sleeves for the oscillating sander model G0538, have been discontinued or are no longer available from Grizzly. Your online catalogue shows that they are still available. Could you verify the status of the availability of these items. I am referring to the items on page 100 (online) listed as "optional accessories", items H5430 thru H5459.
