Steps

  1. Save any business cards you come across, even duplicates.
  2. Ask your friends, family and co-workers to save them for you.
  3. Join several business card collecting groups/clubs.
  4. Trade with other collectors if you start getting duplicates.
  5. Go to paint stores, or hardware stores. Usually you will find many business cards, from people who want to paint your house, or put wallpaper on your walls, or clean the house.
  6. Walk into your doctor or dentist, and pick up a card at the desk.
  7. Look into buying a business card book to house your cards in. This ensures you do not lose your cards and they stay in good condition with easy access to them.
  8. Organize your book how you wish. Useful ways are alphabetical or by business. That way, your book will not only be a collector's case, but a yellow book type reference as well.

Tips

  • Joining business card collecting groups or clubs are a great way to build your collection and make new friends with the same interest as you.
  • Try to get business cards from famous or important people and have them sign them for you!

Warnings

  • Always use acid-free, archive safe sheet protectors when you store your business cards.
  • Remember, people use Business Cards as a form of advertising. Some might consider "just taking" a business card, if you have no interest in the contact or product, as stealing.
