Used Christmas Cards. I WANT THEM ! Any ideas on where I could put my name to get people to donate them to me?

I cover boxes with them, make disposable childrens books out of them, re-cut and make new Christmas cards. I just don’t know how to ask folks for them without sounding like a kook … ideas? any bright ideas as to where I could put my name out there to get them? This is legit. As fewer people send cards, it’s harder to get them. eBay sell vintage lots (which I love) but that is spendy. What I don’t use I pass on to teachers who use them for crafts in class.
I will use advice for next year also as I realize it may be a bit late for this year.

Put an ad on craigslist requesting old/used christmas cards.
You will get lots of responses.
I know it works because I have put an ad on craigslist and I got too many responses and now I have too many used christmas cards I can handle. I can donate alot of them to you for free. Just contact me on my nickname.
Do you accept religious christmas cards by the way?
