Hi, reaching out to the experts on the board.
I'm selling item id 295303702650, I have several versions, 5, 10, 20 chips. I'm paying for the shipping, as the selling price includes it.
Anyway, this is a pamphlet that my dad made several years ago to catalog casino chips from Puerto Rico as of 2002. The pamphlet has more than 8 pages, each one has pictures and descriptions of the chips in questions. There is no advertising on the pamphlet, it is just a reference material, however, I'm selling then with chips included as well, 5, 10 $ 20 chips. Can this be shipped as Media Mail? Currently I'm using first-class mail, as it weighs less than 15oz, and dims are 12x10x1, so it falls on the first-class options. Using media mail will save me $. Does PO have a "MEDIA MAIL OK" stamp? I have no problem preprinting the label and going to my PO to get it inspected, scanned and physically close in front of them while the carrier stamped MEDIA MAIL OK, if that works.
I have not asked my local PO as you can imagine the lines, rather wait until the rush slows down a bit before asking, but figure I reach out here first to get an idea. What do you think?

If the package includes a non-eligible item such as chips, then the package is not eligible for MM even if the pamphlet is eligible.
Here are some references about MM eligibility:
