As a customer, you can do whatever you damned well please.
As a customer you could come as Queen Victoria if you wanted, or Sherlock Holmes even. If you want to play a character as a customer, that is totally cool and fine. And, if you wanted to develop that character a bit, there is no shortage of people who would be happy to help you.
As to giving out cards, it is easy to justify it as anyone who wants people to think that they are reputable would give out cards. In reality, at fair, anybody who wants to give out cards can come up with a justification.
For example, let's say that you work as a maid. People come to your mistresses house all of the time and leave their cards. Once they've been presented, they really aren't needed, so they probably get thrown out rather than kept forever. So, you have a ready supply of all sorts of cards, for when you want to borrow your mistresses clothes, go out on the town and put on airs. You just have to keep track of whose card you have at the moment.
This, of course, could lead to all sorts of humorous theater.
