    Hi Mike and Andrew, 

    I think Andrew is on the right track with his suggestion, although I
    believe paper based products will contribute to a continuation of the
    problem. Tarnish on silver products generally results from
    interaction with sulfur in the immediate environment. Most
    conventional paper products are processed with sulfur, some of which
    remains in the paper. I would lean more toward the "silver cloth" or
    anti-tarnish products, as they should retard the development of
    additional patina. And as Andrew pointed out, being opaque, the
    pieces would have to be removed, and maybe displayed on the fabric
    pouch. 

    I posted something a couple/few weeks ago about finding silver cloth
    in a local fabric store. I'll post something shortly on my odyssey in
    developing an effective way to use this fabric. 

    All the best, 

Dave
