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.

Sorry, you are wrong. I ship magazines and newspapers media mail all of the time. No problem. As for baseball cards, I haven't done that, I was just throwing it out there. I am quite sure our PO won't open a package if I tell them it's media mail and it's heavy.
