Old business cards wanted!

One of the strange things I do is 'up-cycle' old business cards into new ones. After accumulating stockpiles of cards in previous jobs (I always thought my employers were ambitious giving me 500 at a time), I've started making my own ones when I need them. I simply stick a picture on the front that I butcher from unloved books from op shops (current favourite: Guinness Book of Records 1970) and stamp my details on the back (see pics below).

Alas, I've exhausted my stock of old business cards, so if anyone has any in their office that would otherwise go to waste please send them my way! The only requirement is that one side is blank. You can send me a message or post them to PO Box 9889, Marion Square, Wellington 6141. Thanks!
