Get cards easily
There are two ways to obtain the 144 cards, the very complicated which will require you to search every corner of the game and will require many hours, and the very simple which requires a large investment at the start (around 2000 dollars) but which will quickly pay off, both in terms of time and money. We will list the second method here.

When your inventory is full of cigarettes, throw them away and start again. It takes about 10 minutes with aimproved bagand 1 hour without, without counting the more or less 2000 dollars to buy them. The good news is that you will be able to resell the cards you have duplicates at a good price fromreceivers. The rewards from the quest will also help you cover your costs.
