I doubt they will degrade very quickly. My grandparent's certificates
from the 50's are in frames in my Aunt's house and they look fine. Prior
to being framed I think they were in envelopes for years

10 days before, not after

I'm sorry, I wasn't as clear as I should have been. If you move in the 10 days immediately prior to your oath ceremony, you do not have to tell them. If you move more than 10 days prior to your oath ceremony, you do need to tell them!

You are required, by law, to inform USCIS of any address change within 10 days of the change. However, once you are a US citizen, you are no longer obligated to inform USCIS of any change of address. So if you move within 10 days prior to your oath ceremony, your new status as a US citizen should supersede your obligation to file the form. If you move more than 10 days prior to your oath ceremony, you must file the AR-11.
