Nope.
I used to sell lots of "junk" cards on ebay and would ship them media mail. Printed matter, not bound, no advertising, seemed to fit what was allowed.
Then one day they asked and when I told them it was baseball cards they said no. They interpreted the description differently. So I took the hit by having to ship that batch priority, and reduced the size of lots I'd sell.
Magazines and newspapers can't go media either because of the advertising. A friend of mine had an old magazine returned by the PO because of the ads. When he pointed out that it was around a hundred years old and that almost all the companies advetising were long gone the said it didn't matter ads were ads. They used to be ok as bound printed matter, but I think that category has been renamed and the regs changed.
