What about something like SCD, either the catalog or the the publication. I assume a price guide is not a price list, but what if there is there is advertising with prices in the ads within the publication ?

As I said, I was too honest with the Post Office.
When I told them I wanted to mail it book rate, they asked what was in it. I responded old auction catalogs. "Well, it has prices in it, so it isn't a book," was the response. But those are only suggestions or starting points, nothing in those books sold for what was listed as a price. "Well, you'll have to prove that." How can I prove that, I don't have a list of realized prices with me. "May I look at the items? (meaning the books)" Sure. "No, this is a catalog. Nothing but items to buy and a required price. This has to go priority mail.”
It went from being a $4 charge to more than $15.
