In general, you don't want them to flex and you don't want them to be hit on the edges. If I were sending them, I'd do the following: If they are in sleeves, and are not warped in any way, you should stack around 10 together, with the least desirable on the ends. Get a bunch of cardboard squares and put a few pieces on each end. You may want to protect the sleeves with newsprint, and then tape the 10 record/cardboard bundle together. Place it in a box, padding with bubble wrap. Place a couple of the boxes in a larger box, cushioned all around with wadded up newspaper. Seal and send Media Mail.
