Default What is Media?

While thinking about selling this book, and probably using USPS Media Mail to ship it, I asked myself - self, why aren't cards considered media themselves? After all, they are paper stock with graphic imagery and full of textual data, just as books are. Does the PO simply want the profit from first class mail, or does it have some arcane definition of sportscards as not media because they may or may not be collectible? Incidentally, there is no dispute with the postal authorities involved in this inquiry, if anyone is wondering.

They'll ship cards media mail, it just takes about a month to get there. It'd probably be cheaper to send that book in a priority box for $8, unlimited weight.
Fun book, I remember having one of those to.

Thinking you left off a 1 in from of that price.

That book is very heavy and I don't think it would fit in any of the flat rate priority boxes though. Media would be the way to go with that one.

If it fits in a flate rate cardboard envelope, it can ship for around $8. There are 2 sizes, letter and legal.

That book is huge, much larger than legal. It's also really thick.
I was thinking large flat rate box, but I think it is even too large for that size.

I have one upstair and could measure, but going off memory and guessing, probably 18" x 12" x 2" in size.
