Rich Klein Active downtown shopping area. If this is a local venture; I'd go store to store and see which local merchants I could get to help me on this venture. There might even be a card store left on the main drag in Tenafly, but it has been years since I've been there. I'd make sure to co-opt local merchants in this.
In addition, there is a passable card show in Garfield (about 15-20 minutes away from Tenafly) on the odd-numbered Sundays. I'd consider taking a table at that show on a one-time basis to hype the raffle amongst card collectors and you might be able to sell some of your cards as well. Bringing the bat with you may be helpful as well.
Send press releases via postal mail to all the local papers. By that, I mean both the Bergen Record as well as any of the local shopper papers in the area. Yes, I know email is more efficient but sending real letters has more of an impact and is still the best way to generate publicity.
