I've just been doing what instinct tells me to do with my cards. I have heard that they should be kept in either wooden boxes or silk bags. I sew, and have decided to make a bag for each deck as I purchase it. I got into my giant scrap box and found some black and some red velvet. I embroidered the black with silver and gold thread and lined it with white satin. The drawstring is black and I tassled the ends. I embroidered the red with gold only in a geometrical design and left it unlined, the drawstring is gold cord and the ends are tassled as well. All in all, they turned out very nicely, each bag seems to fit the "personality" of the deck it holds.
I also feel compelled to rub my hands with a few drops of perfumed oil whenever I handle my Golden Tarot. The smell fits with the Renaissance theme of the deck.
