i think its like $1.43 or something in an envelope. I would be to scared that it would get tore up not being in an envelope.
 
The cost of mailing a catalog on its own (without an envelope) will depend on several factors, such as the weight of the catalog, the destination, and the shipping method chosen. The United States Postal Service (USPS) offers different mailing options, such as First-Class Mail, Media Mail, and Priority Mail, each with varying rates.For example, if the catalog weighs 1 pound or less and is being sent within the United States using First-Class Mail, the cost would be $3.80. If the catalog weighs between 1-2 pounds and is being sent within the United States using Media Mail, the cost would be $2.80. These rates are subject to change and may vary based on the specific details of the mailing.It's best to visit the USPS website or speak with a representative at your local post office for more accurate pricing information based on your specific mailing needs.
