All are used, but in good condition. They have my "important" text emphasis,
but that should help the next reader too.

Each yearly set will be $8 plus postage. All postage info is only for the USA !!
Even Canada will be more expensive !!
For a box (12"×8"×10" =$1) with 3 sets (weight will be 4 lb + 6 oz, ⩽5lb)
postage in the USA will depend on the zone/distance (Ground Advantage with
tracking):

For example, zone 5 (3 sets) shipping total will be $16.

The weight of 1 set is ~20 oz. The weight of
4 sets will be 5lb, 10 oz, ⩽6lb
5 sets - 6lb, 14oz, ⩽7lb
6 sets - 8lb, 2oz, ⩽9lb, and so on.

The zone distance (from 45069 -use Google) is in the 9.4.2 section:

For the small weight and smaller packages my concern is how well the big envelope will
withstand the "tearing" pressure to the seams from the magazines stack inside...
And what is the experience with posting these old magazines as Media Mail? -attached here.

Media mail is made for just this type of item. It's media.
I would only use a strong box, though. Envelopes will allow damage.

They don't ask to see the contents.
However, the USPS reserves the right to open the box and see if the items qualify for media mail.
You won't have any problems.

You might get away with media mail, but ther post office will tell you anything with an advertisement in it won't qualify as media. If they open it you will have to pay their regular rate. I think this USPS policy came out of being scammed by ebay sellers.
