So if I have a suspicion about who is sending a particular card that I'd love to receive, how do I go about trying to trade for it? Do we get to know everyone's numbers so I can ask everyone who has number suchandsuch or am I just blindly trading for another number with no correlation between numbers and participants?

Well, you have the info on one person, which is a good place to start. If you can manage to snag that number, trade again and again until you land yourself the number you desire. No , the only way to figure out people's numbers is for participants to start trading which can be done by pm. Simply ask to trade numbers or you may have to make a small bribe. Ideally you'd like to acquire the persons info you have first so that you now know who your Secret Santa is. From there you keep trading. REMEMBER, if you blindly trade away your number there is one move you can make to guarantee that you know who your receiving in your next trade and will only be a number for number swap!
