Get yourself does post bubble padded envelopes. The strong ones. I would slip them into a plastic sip bag against the dust and into the envelope. I have specimens stored like this for years. If your home is damp free that should do the trick. Otherwise move home...heehehe...biggest killer is damp trust me.

Yeah the plastic wraps are a good idea, your right bubble wrap will leave a mark on plastic seal over time due to weight of books. If you stack them so no book is exerting weight on another then you will be ok. I.e on side.

Personally I used cardboard postage wraps Amazon and Play use. They have a flat edge but ofcourse they add alot to the overall size.

LOL at VGA graded Book $500 joke.
