Madame Squee
I've sealed decks in plastic tubs with coffee beans -- don't let the cards come in contact with the beans, or the coffee oils will stain them -- and that seems to help, but the thing that helps the most is not putting them back in the box they came in. Store them loose in a natural cotton bag and let them breathe. Then, what has always helped more than anything is rubbing my hands with my favorite perfumed hand lotion (Estee Lauder's Beautiful) before shuffling. It has never stained any of my decks & I've done it with all of my "keepers". They still smell so wonderful, it's like a having a dose of aromatherapy when I shuffle them.
