Baseball cards never qualify. Newspapers never qualify. Very old magazines do qualify because the advertising content, for the most part, no longer exists. Stacks of paper do not qualify, unless they are bound. DVD's and CD's do qualify, as well as 45's and 33's. (records, not guns). Books qualify. Comic books, for the most part, do not qualify because they contain advertising.

In some cases the rules are vague and they can be interpreted differently by different people.

All media mail parcels are supposed to be inspected because so many people are cheating. We have found cosmetics, food, clothing, car parts, and just about every item that you can think of that was included in media mail packages.

Keep in mind that everything in the box has to qualify. If you have a box with 10 books, but the box contains a pair of socks, then the parcel does not qualify for media rates.
