We don't even have a category for the textured surface of slopes 
, to start with (which I'd like to have, but I guess there are other opinions).
Of cause, we could add yet another Colour category (that would only exist in LDraw and nowhere else
), but I'd rather like that not be the case. Especially since we'd need all the available colours there too (like with the Canvas/Rubber ones).
Also, would some of those presumed "cardboards" be identical in surface to some existing stickers (=rework?)? I think I have some that are...
How many of those would need a Texmap? That would probably negate the effect anyways.
And the older ones you mentioned - are you sure the special texture isn't just some sign of ageing? I have both an aged and a relatively good copy of set 6450's stickers which are drastically different in look and feel.
What cardboard parts are out there (and which would be allowed for the PT)?

- backdrops/roofs etc. used in builds (Harry Potter 2001-2002 for ex.)
- Game Boy lenticular cards (would those even be considered cardboard?)
- the road-cards for the new Technic CMF-style packs
- that Minifig cards from 2000 for the 6x6 stands
- some older Backdrops, Studios or Set 6990
- some old Duplo parts
- Townplan/Legoland roads (I guess those are way thicker too?)
- Orient Expedition Board Game?
- ...?
