1967 Tom Seaver Rookie Mets Postcard

Last night I was the high bidder on a lot of 1960's Mets team issue postcards from Heritage Auctions. One of them was a 1967 Tom Seaver issued during his rookie year. This card was graded Near Mint.
I am thinking about getting it graded. However, in checking the population reports I do not see any 1960's Mets team issue postcards graded. I am wondering if anyone has ever attempted to have any of these postcards graded or it could be the PSA won't grade them since they are not listed in any of the major priceguides. Does anyone have any information they can share?
Thanks

I have been looking for a high end example of this card for a number of years, however, the few I have seen have been in VG-EX condition.
BTW, just to add a comparison, I have a 1979 Edmonton Oilers postcard Wayne Gretzky "rookie" and I have seen other examples graded. (Mine isn't but I want to have it done one of these days.)

<< <i>I don't know why they wouldn't grade it; especially if it's a regular postcard size card. If you don't mind revealing it I am curious what price you paid. I've never heard of this card let alone seen it. It's beautiful!
I paid $120 for the entire Mets postcard lot. I listed all of the other Mets postcards individually on ebay Sunday night as I was just interested in the Seaver. I am shipping the Seaver off to PSA today for grading.

<< <i>great pose...as an aside, what dates this specificially to 1967? >>
I used a couple of websites to determine that it is a 1967 postcard. Beckett give a little information about it. I found a checklist of the 1967 set on oldbaseball.com. I have also seen this card advertised in the past as a 1967 as well.
