I helped my father in law move from PA to NM last summer. We sent the normal stuff in a moving van, including cards that didn't matter. The cards that didn't matter went in blue tubs from walmart, we wrapped them with tape and they all arrived safely.
We put the expensive cards in a gun safe, strapped it down on the floor of a ford van, and piled stuff on top of it. Bed frames, mattresses, etc. Filled the van from top to bottom and side to side. Looking thru the windows you would never have thought there was anything valuable in there.
We slept in the van at a well lit truck/rest stop. If we had gotten a room we wouldn't have slept any better.
We sold the van for a few hundred more than we paid for it, covered most of the gas cost.
It was uncomfortable, but we took about 30K worth of cards across the country safely for a couple days of inconvenience.
